Abstract
Data for summer chlorophyll and spring total phosphorus concentration were collected from 19 lakes in southern Ontario and combined with data reported in the literature for other North American lakes to produce a regression line that can be used to predict the average summer chlorophyll concentration from a single measurement of phosphorus concentration at spring overturn. This equation is not significantly different from a previously published phosphorus‐chlorophyll relationship derived for a number of Japanese lakes.
