Total phytoplankton biomass as spectrophotometric Chl a. Ambiguity of the classification of the nutrient limitation status is shown by the frequency (%) of different classifications from 1000 bootstrapped data sets. Values in parentheses are results excluding data from the period following the 27 July 2013 rain event. A – indicates that the null model was chosen in greater than 5% of boot-strapped cases.
