The NT2 phytoplankton dynamic
depends particulary on water level and
temperature. Indeed, high phytoplankton
total biomass and cellular concentrations
are driven by higher temperature
and low water level in the WD
season. Conversely, low phytoplankton
total biomass and cellular concentrations
were probably due to high precipitation
during theWWseason. A transition
period at the end of theWWseason
is defined by the low water level and
high nitrate concentrations leading to
increase of biomass. Then, high water
level and low temperature are responsible
for low biomass and cellular concentrations
during the CD season.
