The Importance of Phytoplankton Biomolecule Availability for Secondary Production (2017, background): “This means that the ongoing human-induced eutrophication and climate change, causing shift in the phytoplankton community composition toward the dominance of cyanobacteria (Paerl and Paul, 2012; Sukenik et al., 2015), has major ecological effects on the aquatic food webs through increased sterol, EP”
The political economy of food systems reform (2017, background): “…this in turn polluted freshwater (Parris, 2011); and as phosphate and nitrogen water pollution reach the oceans, natural fertilisation processes are stimulated, spurring algae growth that absorbs the dissolved oxygen required to sustain fish stocks (Paerl and Huisman, 2012; Chislock et al., 2013).”
Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being (2017, positive): “Diverse disruptions from the redistribution of species include effects on terrestrial productivity (32), impacts onmarine community assembly (33), and threats to the health of freshwater systems from widespread cyanobacteria blooms (34).”
A novel model for cyanobacteria bloom formation: the critical role of anoxia and ferrous iron (2014, background): “We know that freshwater pelagic cyanobacteria are ubiquitous, capable of dominating nutrient-rich waters globally (Paerl & Paul, 2012) in both soft and hardwaters (Marino et al., 1990; Codd et al., 2005; Paterson et al., 2011) with one major exception.”
Transparency, Geomorphology and Mixing Regime Explain Variability in Trends in Lake Temperature and Stratification Across Northeastern North America (1975-2014) (2017, background): “Increasingly warm surface temperatures could favor harmful cyanobacterial algal blooms and transition lakes from less productive towards eutrophic [88,89].”
Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “…Cylindrospermopsis, Anabaena, Planktothrix, Aphanizomenon and Nodularia, which dominate the phytoplankton community and disrupt food-web processes due to their high abundance, toxicity and reduced food quality for grazers (Carmichael, 1991; Wiegand & Pflugmacher, 2005; Paerl & Paul, 2012).”
Deciphering the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and temperature on cyanobacterial bloom intensification, diversity, and toxicity in western Lake Erie (2019, background): “Together, these finding suggest the green and brown algae may benefit from nutrient additions but are outcompeted by cyanobacteria (Dokulil and Teubner 2000; Wilhelm et al. 2003; Paerl and Paul 2012), particularly in combination with warmer temperatures (Rigosi et al. 2014).”
The effects of changing climate on microzooplankton grazing and community structure: drivers, predictions and knowledge gaps (2013, background): “…temperatures have been strongly implicated in the increased frequency of the dominance of cyanobacterial species in freshwater (Paerl and Huisman, 2008; Paerl and Huisman, 2009; Paerl and Paul, 2011), but stimulation of certain marine cyanobacterial taxa has also been reported (Fu et al., 2007).”
Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms: Causes, Consequences, and Controls (2013, background): “Rising global temperatures and changing precipitation patterns both stimulate CyanoHABs [64, 99, 103, 106, 110].”
Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future (2015, background): “Such secondary metabolites function as allelochemicals that may inhibit the growth of other phytoplankton species and grazers, thus affecting the entire food web (Ger et al., 2014; Paerl & Paul, 2011).”
Effects of rising CO₂ on the harmful cyanobacterium Microcystis (2016, background): “Climate change may also increase the salinity of some lakes, because of rising sea levels and more intense droughts (Paerl and Huisman, 2009; Paerl and Paul, 2012).”
Nutrients and water temperature are significant predictors of cyanobacterial biomass in a 1147 lakes data set (2013, background): “Cyanobacteria possess a number of traits that provide them with advantages under warmer conditions (Paerl and Paul 2012; but see Carey et al. 2012).”
