When phosphorus levels were high, no effect on the levels of blue-green algae was observed. If this is still the case, seems like even if we decrease the amount of phosphorous from fertilizer run-off, we may still have algae bloom problems caused from our little invaders...just a (sad) thought. <br />MicheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
