Shallow‐lake sediments release nutrients by complete destratification events
Abstract The development of phytoplankton communities in hypereutrophic shallow lakes, often used for aquaculture, is not fully understood and can sometimes be unpredictable. Focusing on the abiotic factors that regulate their succession, we recorded short‐term mixing events in a shallow lake and examined their relationship with nutrient release from ...

Occurrence and Distribution of Cyanobacteria and their Toxins in Silver Lake, New Hampshire [PDF]
A study of Silver Lake, NH was performed as part of a 5-lake assessment of cyanobacteria prevalence and distribution. Multi-parameter fluorescence probe measurements of chlorophyll a and cyanobacteria concentrations (PC, phycocyanin fluorescence) were ...

New Method for Simultaneous Determination of Microcystins and Cylindrospermopsin in Vegetable Matrices by SPE-UPLC-MS/MS [PDF]
Cyanotoxins are a large group of noxious metabolites with different chemical structure and mechanisms of action, with a worldwide distribution, producing effects in animals, humans, and crop plants.

Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and stochasticity of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, storm‐induced mixing, or prolonged drought periods. This results in more variable regimes of dissolved nutrients and carbon in lakes and induces temporal fluctuations in the resource availability for plankton communities ...

Cyanobacterial blooms and their toxigenic potential threaten freshwater resources worldwide. In Atlantic Canada, despite an increase of cyanobacterial blooms in the last decade, little is known about the toxigenic potential and the taxonomic affiliation ...

Cyanobacterial blooms present substantial challenges to managers and threaten ecological and public health. Although the majority of cyanobacterial bloom research and management focuses on factors that control bloom initiation, duration, toxicity, and geographical extent, relatively little research focuses on the role of loss processes in blooms and ...

Unexplained interannual oscillations of cyanobacterial blooms in the Baltic Sea [PDF]
AbstractPopulation oscillations in multi-species or even single species systems are well-known but have rarely been detected at the lower trophic levels in marine systems. Nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria are a major component of the Baltic Sea ecosystem and sometimes form huge surface accumulations covering most of the sea surface.

Abstract Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea has caused an imbalance in the inorganic nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio, leaving excess phosphate (PO4) after the phytoplankton spring bloom that terminates after N depletion. Using monitoring data, we demonstrated that the PO4 concentration has continued to increase in the outermost Gulf of Finland ...

Blooms of filamentous cyanobacteria reduce zooplankton quality and pelagic food web efficiency
Abstract Cyanobacterial blooms in marine and freshwater ecosystems have increased in magnitude, frequency, and distribution worldwide during recent decades. Filamentous cyanobacteria are of unsuitable size for mesozooplankton feeding and of poorer nutritional quality than other phytoplankton taxa. The production and quality of higher trophic levels are

Abstract Blooms of filamentous green algae (FGA) form dense mats at the surface of shallow freshwaters and have multiple negative impacts on aquatic ecosystem functions, services, and aesthetics. Although nutrient enrichment in freshwaters is a primary driver of excessive FGA growth, much less is known about other abiotic factors controlling bloom ...
