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

Eutrophication is a major global concern in lakes, caused by excessive nutrient loadings
(nitrogen and phosphorus) from human activities and likely exacerbated by climate change …

As human populations increase and land-use intensifies, toxic and unsightly nuisance
blooms of algae are becoming larger and more frequent in freshwater lakes. In most cases …

This review summarizes the present state of knowledge regarding the toxic, bloom-forming
cyanobacterium, Microcystis, with a specific focus on its geographic distribution, toxins …

Aquatic ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication from nutrient pollution. In lakes,
eutrophication causes a plethora of deleterious effects, such as harmful algal blooms, fish …

Preventing harmful algal blooms (HABs) is needed to protect lakes and downstream
ecosystems. Traditionally, reducing phosphorus (P) inputs was the prescribed solution for …

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 …

Cyanobacteria are the Earth's oldest oxygenic photoautotrophs and have had major impacts
on sha** its biosphere. Their long evolutionary history (∼ 3.5 by) has enabled them to …

Historically, phosphorus (P) has been considered the primary limiting nutrient for
phytoplankton assemblages in freshwater ecosystems. This review, supported by new …

Domestic wastewater and agricultural activities are important sources of nutrient pollutants
such as phosphorus and nitrogen. Upon reaching freshwater, these nutrients can lead to …
