The consequences of their availability on algal composition were also studied. Two prominent periods were indicated: 1) Sufficient supply of N accompanied by Peridinium enhancement; 2) N deficiency and P sufficiency-induced Peridinium reduction and Cyanobacterium enhancement. The impact of Anthropocene conditions and dust deposition on N & P availability is evaluated. %K Kinneret %K Peridinium %K Cyanobacteria %K N & %K P %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=95815
