Abstract
⺠Phytoplankton surged and cyanobacteria became dominant in Lake Winnipeg in 1990s. ⺠Phosphorus concentration doubled from 1992 to 1999 and has remained high since. ⺠Phosphorus concentration in the major source, the Red River, is 2 à greater in floods. ⺠Increased runoff contributed more than anthropogenic loading to higher phosphorus. ⺠85% of phosphorus from flooded, flat farm land is dissolved (highly bioavailable).
