Metals are used in primary producer metabolic pathways, such as photosynthesis and the acquisition of macronutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), yet we often do not know their potential as limiting nutrients in freshwaters. In the Great Lakes, metals have sometimes been identified as limiting the acquisition of macronutrients, mostly in off-shore waters that are relatively isolated from tributary inputs and sediment interactions. We hypothesized that another area where metals might be important was within harmful algal blooms (HABs). Harmful algal blooms are more likely to occur where N and P loads are elevated due to human activities, but short-term growth assays still often find summer bloom communities are...
