The Replacement of Peridinium by Cyanobacteria in Lake Kinneret (Israel): A Commentary Review ()
ABSTRACT
The dynamics of N & P nutrient inputs and the
consequent epilimnetic concentration during 1969-2018 in
Lake Kinneret was studied. The consequences of their availability on algal
composition were also studied. Two prominent periods were indicated: 1)
Sufficient supply of N accompanied by Peridinium enhancement; 2) N deficiency
and P sufficiency-induced Peridinium reduction and Cyanobacterium enhancement.
The impact of Anthropocene conditions and dust deposition on N & P
availability is evaluated.
