We linked the models PROTECH and MyLake to test potential impacts of climate-change-induced warming on the phytoplankton community of Pyhäjärvi, a lake in southwest Finland. First, we calibrated the models for the present conditions, which revealed an apparent high significance of internal nutrient...
