Abstract
⺠We examined phytoplankton, benthic algae, and phosphorus (P) in Lake Erie and Maumee River in 2009. ⺠The Maumee River may act as a source of Microcystis cyanobacteria for Lake Erie blooms. ⺠Lyngbya wollei has the potential to retain and recycle significant amount of P in nearshore areas. ⺠Dissolved organic phosphorus, often overlooked, was an important form of P in the river and lake.
