• Deciphering the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and temperature on cyanobacterial bloom intensification, diversity, and toxicity in western Lake Erie (2019, methodology): “NPT 0.55 0.12 48.8 3.58 5.64 6.69 Maumee and Sandusky tributaries are important stimuli for cyanobacteria growth in this system and help fuel the latesummer bloom in Lake Erie’s western basin (Millie et al. 2009; Michalak et al. 2013).”
• An evaluation of time-series smoothing algorithms for land-cover classifications using MODIS-NDVI multi-temporal data (2016, background): “Algal blooms result from a combination of factors including excess nutrients (Michalak et al., 2013), environmental conditions related to temperature, light, stratification (Paerl & Huisman, 2008), and changes in land-cover (LC) and land-use (LU) practices related to urbanization and modern agricult”
• Adapting agriculture to climate change via sustainable irrigation: biophysical potentials and feedbacks (2022, background): “The leaching of phosphorous and nitrogen fertilizer alters biogeochemical cycles [162, 163] and creates algal blooms and anoxic dead zones, which impair aquatic ecosystems and generate serious threats to human health [164, 165].”
• A novel model for cyanobacteria bloom formation: the critical role of anoxia and ferrous iron (2014, background): “Nevertheless, the problem persists and in some regions appears to be worsening (Carey, Weathers & Cottingham, 2008; Winter et al., 2011; Michalak et al., 2013).”
