Dependence of cyanobacteria bloom formation and maintenance on anoxia and trace metals in eutrophic lakes
Dependence of cyanobacteria bloom formation and maintenance on anoxia and trace metals in eutrophic lakes
Principal Investigator: Lewis Molot Funding: NSERC Term: 2018-2022 The key driver of cyanobacteria bloom formation is the onset of anoxia (defined as complete loss of dissolved oxygen and nitrate) at the sediment/water boundary which results in release of ferrous iron into overlying water. The discovery of this formation has important management implications because blooms can
