Table 5. In-lake annual scenario results for ammonia, orthophosphate, chlorophyll a, and blue-green algae, Hagg Lake, Oregon.
[The length of the blue-green algae bloom was calculated as the time their concentration was greater than 0.5 gram per cubic meter. The photic zone was estimated to include the top 10 meters of the water column, on the basis of light profiles measured in Hagg Lake. Abbreviations: μg/L, microgram per liter; N, nitrogen; P, phosphorus]
Scenario | Ammonia, mean whole-lake (µg/L as N) |

Orthophosphate, mean, whole-lake (µg/L as P) |
Orthophosphate, mean, photic zone (µg/L as P) |
Chlorophyll a, photic zone (µg/L) |
