Particulate phosphorus (PP) > 250 μm was concentrated in the euphotic zone of 17 lakes in central Alberta. When the euphotic zone extended below the epilimnion, PP >250 μm was concentrated deep in the euphotic zone. PP > 250 μm was a significant but variable portion of the total phosphorus (TP) pool in individual lakes; thus, samples should be collected from the euphotic zone on several dates to estimate the contribution of PP > 250 μm to the TP pool. As well, the contribution of this fraction varied among lakes: average summer values for the euphotic zone ranged from 3 to 19%. Among lakes, the contribution of large particles to the TP pool decreased proportionally as lake productivity (estimated by chlorophyll a (Chl a)) increased. The relative contribution of PP > 250 μm in summer accounted for a significant portion of the residual variation in the spring TP-summer Chl a relationship but not the summer TP-summer Chl a relationship in the study lakes. These apparently contradictory results can be explain...
