  ABSTRACT: During 1970-2001, several ecological changes were documented in the Lake Kinneret Ecosystem: Decline of total Nitrogen (TN) and increase of total Phosphorus (TP) loads with a corresponding decline of TN/TP ratio. The phytoplankton assemblages indicated consequence Increase of Cyanobacteria accompanied by elevation of the biomass of Chlorophyta and Diatoms. The Kinneret ecosystem functioning represented two superimposed events: the decline of TN enhanced Cyanobacteria and elevation of TP that was reflected by an increase of Chloropytes and Diatoms. Removal of Nitrogen was achieved but P load remained high enough to enhance Chlorophyta and Diatoms. Consequently, a top priority of future management perspective should be reduction of Phosphorus inputs.
