No evidence of widespread algal bloom intensification in hundreds of lakes

Grace M. Wilkinson et al.

Summary: This study found that intensification of algal blooms in US waterbodies is not widespread, with only a small percentage showing significant increasing trends. Conversely, some waterbodies exhibited significant declining trends during the same period. Therefore, continued efforts towards protection and restoration of aquatic ecosystems are crucial for maintaining ecosystem services into the future.

Satellite remote sensing to assess cyanobacterial bloom frequency across the United States at multiple spatial scales

Megan M. Coffer et al.

Summary: Satellite imagery was utilized to assess the annual frequency of surface cyanobacterial blooms in large lakes across the continental United States, revealing variations in bloom frequencies among different states and lakes. The results can help identify areas within lakes more prone to cyanobacterial blooms, as well as prioritize sampling resources and mitigation efforts.

Synergistic impacts of nutrient enrichment and climate change on long-term water quality and ecological dynamics in contrasting shallow-lake zones

Qi Lin et al.

Summary: The anthropogenic and climatic stressors on freshwater ecosystems are a global concern. Research has shown that the degradation of water quality and modifications in algal communities in lakes exhibit asynchronous trends, with anthropogenic nutrients having a greater impact on lake ecosystems than climate change.

Assessing cyanobacterial frequency and abundance at surface waters near drinking water intakes across the United States

Megan M. Coffer et al.

Summary: This study is the first comprehensive assessment of cyanobacterial frequency and abundance near drinking water intakes across the United States. Satellite imagery was found to be effective in monitoring cyanobacterial blooms and providing information for drinking water treatment operators; in 2019, the average bloom frequency was 2% and reached up to 100%, indicating the need for long-term satellite monitoring data to evaluate environmental changes.

Modeling Anthropogenic and Environmental Influences on Freshwater Harmful Algal Bloom Development Detected by MERIS Over the Central United States

J. S. Iiames et al.

Summary: Human and ecological health are threatened by the increase of cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms in freshwater systems. By utilizing random forest modeling, major drivers of cyanoHABs in freshwater lakes across the upper Midwest were identified, with low elevation lakes showing a 3 times higher mean CI_cyano value compared to high elevation lakes, along with significant influence of agrarian-related variables.

Kendra Spence Cheruvelil et al.

Summary: This study addresses the need for macro-scale studies of aquatic ecosystems to tackle broad-scale problems related to global change, specifically in informing national-scale environmental policies. The data paper introduces the LAGOS-US LOCUS v1.0 data module, which provides detailed information on lakes and reservoirs in the conterminous U.S. The open data platform allows for the study of these water bodies at multiple scales of space and time.

Perceived global increase in algal blooms is attributable to intensified monitoring and emerging bloom impacts

Gustaaf M. Hallegraeff et al.

Summary: According to an analysis of global harmful algal bloom events, it was found that there is no uniform increase in the global occurrence of these events over time. The recorded increase in events is primarily due to enhanced coastal monitoring and aquaculture practices.
