Abstract The paper reports the impact of a sharp artificial enrichment of the available phosphorus in a small, acidic and oligotrophic corrie lake and its effects upon the phytoplankton supported. Annual average chlorophyll increased tenfold within two years, from ∼ 1.2 to 12.6 µg chl a l-1, but the species represented by large populations are the same as previously. Chrysophyte species, however, make up a smaller fraction of the total crop.
