In 2006 the spatial distribution and seasonal variations in chlorophyll concentration were measured, at about two-week frequency, in Lake Gardno. In general, chlorophyll concentrations in the central part of the lake were high throughout the growth season. The minimum chlorophyll concentration was recorded in March (7.5 mg m-3), and the maximum value in September (303 mg m-3). Higher chlorophyll concentrations and lower temporal variability were measured in the central part of the lake, compared to lower concentrations and higher variability in the vicinity of the Łupawa River input to the lake. Chlorophyll concentrations were measured fluorometrically along several vertical and horizontal profiles, enabling direct observations of the dynamics of changing chlorophyll concentrations in Lake Gardno throughout the year.
