The management of eutrophication has been impeded by reliance on short-term
experimental additions of nutrients to bottles and mesocosms. These measures of proximate …

Control of lacustrine phytoplankton biomass by phosphorus is one of the oldest and most
stable paradigms in modern limnology. Even so, evidence from bioassays conducted by …

The water quality response to implementation of conservation measures across watersheds
has been slower and smaller than expected. This has led many to question the efficacy of …

This synthesis examines 35 long‐term (5–35 years, mean: 16 years) lake re‐
oligotrophication studies. It covers lakes ranging from shallow (mean depth< 5 m and/or …

An increase in cyanobacteria bloom formation within lakes has been forecasted as a result
of global warming. We investigated the particular physical and chemical thresholds for …

Inhibition of phytoplankton by allelochemicals released by submerged macrophytes is
supposed to be one of the mechanisms that contribute to the stabilisation of clear-water …

Cyanobacterial blooms (see the figure) present health risks worldwide for humans and
livestock that drink or use contaminated water, and also represent substantial economic …

Harmful blooms of cyanobacteria (CyanoHABs) have increased globally and cyanotoxins
associated with some CyanoHAB species pose serious health risks for animals and …

The impact of long thermal stratification events on some key properties in a polymictic lake
was studied by determining the mixing regime of Müggelsee, Germany, using water …

Phosphorus (P) is conventionally thought to limit production in freshwaters and nitrogen (N)
that in the sea. Before much human activity, however, co-limitation by N and P was probably …
