The influence of environmental conditions on the seasonal variation of Microcystis cell density and microcystins concentration in San Francisco Estuary (2008, background): “High streamflow would also increase vertical mixing which decreases colony viability and the competitive advantage of Microcystis colonies to obtain light by floating on the surface of the water column (Huisman et al., 2004).”
Aggregation with clay causes sedimentation of the buoyant cyanobacteria Microcystis spp. (2006, background): “During periods of weak wind mixing, Microcystis spp. colonies float upwards and can form dense surface blooms in eutrophic freshwater ecosystems (Reynolds et al. 1981, Huisman et al. 2004, Visser et al. 2005).”
Algal bloom and its economic impact (2016, background): “13 When an intense cyanobacterial growth occurs on the surface water, turbidity due to blooms suppresses the development of many species of eukaryotic taxa not displaying buoyancy regulation and which, therefore, can be only passively entrained in the euphotic zone [60-62].”
Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms: Causes, Consequences, and Controls (2013, background): “These surface blooms maintain high rates of photosynthesis, even under high ultraviolet radiation, while shading out underlying, non-buoyant phytoplankton and macrophytes, thereby suppressing their growth [58, 60, 160].”
Artificial mixing to control cyanobacterial blooms: a review (2015, background): “A shift from cyanobacteria to green algae and/or diatoms is often found in artificially mixed lakes (Table 1; Haynes 1973; Toetz 1977; Cowell et al. 1987; Steinberg and Zimmermann 1988; Hawkins and Griffiths 1993; Visser et al. 1996b; Heo and Kim 2004; Huisman et al. 2004; Becker et al. 2006; Lehman”
Controlling harmful cyanobacterial blooms in a world experiencing anthropogenic and climatic-induced change. (2011, background): “Under strong and persistently stratified conditions, buoyant cyanobacteria can form dense surface blooms which shade deeper non-buoyant eukaryotic phytoplankton, enhancing the CyanoHABs' competitive advantage (Huisman et al., 2004) (Fig.”
Fast Regulation of Photosynthesis in Diatoms: Mechanisms, Evolution and Ecophysiology (2007, background): “1998) as well as with the simulation of species succession and diatom dominance in lakes (Huisman et al. 2004).”
Competition for nutrients and light: Stable coexistence, alternative stable states or competitive exclusion? (2006, background): “Deviations from these highly idealized conditions may shift the competitive dominance and/or promote species coexistence (Sommer 1985, Grover 1991b, Litchman and Klausmeier 2001, Flöder et al. 2002, Huisman et al. 2004).”
Spatio-temporal behaviour of the deep chlorophyll maximum in Mediterranean Sea: Development of a stochastic model for picophytoplankton dynamics (2012, methodology): “Here we extend recent phytoplankton models (Klausmeier and Litchman, 2001; Huisman et al., 2002, 2004; Fennel and Boss, 2003; Hodges and Rudnick, 2004) to show that the phytoplankton distributions, due to random changes, can exhibit fluctuations.”
Competition and facilitation between unicellular nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria and non—nitrogen‐fixing phytoplankton species (2007, background): “Predictions on phytoplankton species composition, derived from this combination of theory and experiments, have been successfully applied to a variety of different field situations (Sommer 1993; Huisman et al. 2004; Stomp et al. 2007).”
Influence of water‐column depth and mixing on phytoplankton biomass, community composition, and nutrients (2008, background): “Under such conditions cyanobacteria are expected to form surface blooms, which strongly shade lower strata and therefore greatly diminish the possibility of coexistence for negatively buoyant species (Visser et al. 1996; Scheffer et al. 1997; Huisman et al. 2004).”
Effects of rising CO₂ on the harmful cyanobacterium Microcystis (2016, background): “Examples of successful lake treatments include hydrogen peroxide addition (H 2 O 2 ; Matthijs et al. , 2012) and artificial mixing of deep lakes (Visser et al. , 1996; Huisman et al. , 2004).”
Summer heatwaves promote blooms of harmful cyanobacteria (2008, methodology): “Because Microcystis can float upwards, whereas the diatoms and to a lesser extent also the green algae sink downwards, Microcystis may gain a competitive edge during periods with weak vertical mixing (Visser et al., 1996a; Huisman et al., 2004).”
Climate-induced shifts in an experimental phytoplankton community: a mechanistic approach (2007, background): “Reduced turbulent mixing and enhanced stratification facilitate the development of surface blooms in eutrophic lakes, thereby shifting the species composition of phytoplankton communities in favour of buoyant cyanobacteria (Harris & Baxter, 1996; Huisman et al., 2004).”
