Additionally, the early summer phase of active wind
mixing of epilimnetic waters may have been conducive to higher initial nutrient
availability for A.ovalisporum growth, similar to the sequence described in Crose
Mere by Reynolds and Reynolds (1985).
Towards the decline of the A.ovalisporum bloom in 1994, the cyanobacterial
cells appeared to be strongly P limited. This, combined with the high turbulence
brought on by storm events (beginning in mid-October), was probably the cause
of the decline of the cyanobacterial bloom.
