Agricultural, urban and industrial activities have dramatically increased aquatic nitrogen and
phosphorus pollution (eutrophication), threatening water quality and biotic integrity from …

Hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) are the most widespread class of cyanotoxins and the one
that has most often been implicated in cyanobacterial toxicosis. One of the main challenges …

Flowing waters receive substantial nutrient inputs, including both nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P), in many parts of the world. Eutrophication science for rivers and streams …

In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (= cyanoHABs) are an increasing feature of many
waterbodies throughout the world. Many bloom-forming species produce toxins, making …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are an increasingly common feature of
large, eutrophic lakes. Non-N 2-fixing CyanoHABs (eg, Microcystis) appear to be …

Benthic cyanobacteria are found globally in plethora of environments. Although they have
received less attention than their planktonic freshwater counterparts, it is now well …

1. This review summarises knowledge on the ecology, toxin production, and impacts of toxic
freshwater benthic cyanobacterial proliferations. It documents monitoring, management, and …

Freshwater benthic algae form complex mat matrices that can confer ecosystem benefits but
also produce harmful cyanotoxins and nuisance taste-and-odor (T&O) compounds. Despite …

Cyanobacteria are found in almost every aquatic ecosystem. Yet their presence does not
automatically pose a risk to public health. Whether or not toxins reach health-relevant …
