Environmental variables and the development of phytoplankton assemblages in a hyper-eutrophic African reservoir

Includes bibliographical references. === The development of phytoplankton assemblages in relation to environmental variables was investigated in Lake Chivero between 2003 and 2006. The study showed that there has been a decline in dominance of cyanobacteria in Lake Chivero, instead phytoplankton dev...
