What Makes Lakes Vulnerable to Cyanobacteria Blooms?
Abstract
"Find out what makes lakes vulnerable to cyanobacteria blooms (also known as blue-green algae). Hint – it’s not just phosphorus! While excess nutrients support the growth of cyanobacteria blooms, some types of water bodies are more vulnerable, and some aspects of water bodies can help to repeatedly accumulate and concentrate blooms. Discover what physical, chemical, and biological characteristics make lakes more susceptible to blooms. Learn what different bloom types look like and find out what cyanobacteria mean for overall lake health.
