Characteristics and roles of Microcystis extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in cyanobacterial blooms: a short review (2018, background): “The cyanobacterial bloom outbreak prefers hot climate (Paerl and Huisman 2008), and the bloom expansion and risk increase with global warming (Paerl et al. 2011).”
Mechanistic effects of low-flow hydrology on riverine ecosystems: ecological principles and consequences of alteration (2012, background): “…may lead to changes in trophic status or can be associated with blooms of harmful cyanobacteria, which have ramifications for water-quality management and ecosystemlevel functioning, e.g., trophic cascades and regime shifts (Scheffer and Carpenter 2003, Baldwin et al. 2010, Paerl et al. 2011).”
Emerging threats and persistent conservation challenges for freshwater biodiversity (2018, background): “Preventative measures include one or more of the following: reducing or removing external nutrient loads (Paerl, Hall & Calandrino, 2011); aerating lake sediments (Prepas et al. , 1997); or chemically treating lake sediments to suppress internal nutrient recycling (Molot et al. , 2014).”
The cyanotoxin-microcystins: current overview (2014, background): “However, no single factor is directly related to bloom episodes and they can occur under a wide range of environmental conditions (Sivonen and Jones 1999; Paerl et al. 2011).”
Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “These toxic blooms, often but not always occurring in eutrophic lakes, have been reported to occur frequently in many countries throughout the world (Paerl et al., 2011; Sivonen & Jones, 1999; Stewart et al., 2008).”
Deciphering the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and temperature on cyanobacterial bloom intensification, diversity, and toxicity in western Lake Erie (2019, background): “…to rise an additional 1.5–5 C this century (Houghton et al. 2001; Paerl and Huisman 2009; O’Neil et al. 2012) and the high thermal optima of many freshwater cyanobacteria (≥ 25 C; Paerl et al. 2011; Thomas and Litchman 2016), CHABs are expected to intensify with rising surface water temperatures.”
Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms: Causes, Consequences, and Controls (2013, background): “At these elevated temperatures, cyanobacteria routinely outcompete eukaryotic algae [32, 64, 105, 164].”
Climate change: links to global expansion of harmful cyanobacteria. (2012, background): “This provides CyanoHABs a distinct advantage under nutrient-enriched conditions, when competition with eukaryotic primary producers, including diatoms, chlorophytes, cryptophytes and dinoflagellates canbe intense (Paerl et al., 2011a,b).”
A novel model for cyanobacteria bloom formation: the critical role of anoxia and ferrous iron (2014, background): “Wurtsbaugh, Lewis, Paerl and their colleagues argue that N plays a major role alongside P in promoting cyanobacteria blooms and that both N and P should be controlled (Lewis & Wurtsbaugh, 2008; Lewis, Wurtsbaugh & Paerl, 2011; Paerl, Hall & Calandrino, 2011a; Paerl et al., 2011b).”
