Rapidly increasing urban, agricultural, and industrial growth in the Taihu basin during the past four decades has led to accelerated nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loading to the lake. This has caused the lake to shift from oligo-mesotrophic to hypertrophic conditions, symptomized by toxic cyanobacterial blooms, dominated by the non-N2 fixing genus Microcystis. From 2008 to 2013, a series of in situ microcosm and mesocosm nutrient addition bioassays were conducted that were focused on the heavily polluted northern region (i.e., Meiliang Bay) and other lake locations. Bioassays showed that phytoplankton production, as chlorophyll a and photopigments diagnostic of major phytoplankton groups, was controlled by P inputs from spring to early summer, while N played a more dominant controlling role in summer–fall. In most cases, combined N and P additions promoted maximum growth.
