| Description | An alternative to using average concentrations of phytoplankton chlorophyll in setting lake management goals is to use the frequency that chlorophyll concentrations exceed an established nuisance level. We analyzed 1473 lake-years of data on 438 Florida lakes to develop a series of tables that can be used to predict the frequencies that phytoplankton chlorophylls will exceed concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 mg $m^{−3}$ in Florida lakes based on the annual average concentrations of chlorophyll, total phosphorus, or total nitrogen. Different tables were created for lakes grouped by TN/TP ratios of >17, 10, and <10. These tables can be directly applied towards setting lake management goals for those Florida lakes that lack sufficient data to construct their own bloom frequency curves. |
