Bottom-Up Controls (Micronutrients and N and P Species) Better Predict Cyanobacterial Abundances in Harmful Algal Blooms Than Top-Down Controls (Grazers)
The initiation, bloom, and bust of harmful Cyanobacteria and algae blooms (HAB) in lakes are controlled by top-down and bottom-up ecological controls. Excess phosphorous and nitrogen inputs from anthropogenic sources are primary to blame, but eukaryotic grazers may also promote or curb Cyanobacteria...
