Lake eutrophication has become a worldwide challenge, and the empirical chlorophyll a -total phosphorus (Chla-TP) relationship provides a management target for TP concentrations. Neglecting the dynamics of the relationship at the lake-specific scale would mislead the eutrophication control strategy....
