  abstract = {{C}hemical monitoring revealed a regular decrease in herbicide concentration in {L}ake {G}eneva since last decades that may be linked to an ecotoxic restoration of nontarget phytoplanktonic communities. {T}he {P}ollution-induced community tolerance ({PICT}) approach was tested as a tool to monitor the ecotoxic restoration of {L}ake {G}eneva for herbicides from 1999 to 2011. {W}e conducted monthly assessments in 1999 and in 2011 for the tolerance of the phytoplankton communities to two herbicides (atrazine and copper), using {PICT} bioassays. {T}he taxonomical composition of the communities was determined on the same collecting dates. {T}he herbicide concentration decrease during the 12 years significantly influenced the composition of communities. {T}he {PICT} monitoring indicated that a significant tolerance decrease in the community to both herbicides accompanied the herbicide concentration decrease. {PICT} measurements for atrazine and copper also changed at the intra-annual level. {T}hese variations were mainly due to community composition shifts linked to seasonal phosphorus and temperature changes. {PICT} monitoring on a seasonal basis is required to monitor the mean tolerance of communities. {PICT} appeared to be a powerful tool that reflected the toxic effects on environmental communities and to monitor ecotoxic ecosystem restoration.},
