Akvaattiset tieteetWe linked the models PROTECH and MyLake to test potential impacts of climate-changeinduced
warming on the phytoplankton community of Pyhäjärvi, a lake in southwest Finland.
First, we calibrated the models for the present conditions, which revealed an apparent
high significance of internal nutrient loading for Pyhäjärvi. We then estimated the effect
of two climate change scenarios on lake water temperatures and ice cover duration with
MyLake. Finally, we used those outputs to drive PROTECH to predict the resultant phytoplankton
community. It was evident that cyanobacteria will grow significantly better in
warmer water, especially in the summer. Even if phosphorus and nitrogen loads to the lake
remain the same and there is little change in the total chlorophyll a concentrations, a higher
proportion of the phytoplankton community could be dominated by cyanobacteria. The
model outputs provided no clear evidence that earlier ice break would advance the timing
of the diatom spring bloom.

Regular build-up of the spring phytoplankton maximum before ice-break in a boreal lake
Salmi, Pauliina; Salonen, Kalevi (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc., 2016)The development of phytoplankton biomass and composition in a eutrophic boreal lake was studied during the evolution of under-ice convection in spring. The results from 8 yr showed that, within a few weeks before ice-break, ...
