Ecological impacts of freshwater algal blooms on water quality, plankton biodiversity, structure, and ecosystem functioning

Cihelio Alves Amorim et al.

Summary: Harmful algal blooms, particularly those dominated by Cyanobacteria, have significant negative impacts on freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, affecting water quality, plankton structure, and resource use efficiency of phytoplankton and zooplankton. The loss of biodiversity due to algal blooms results in decreased ecosystem functioning, with cascading effects on plankton dynamics.

Are recent protection strategies sufficient for maintaining diverse freshwater benthic diatom assemblages?

Viktoria B-Beres et al.

Summary: The study found that protected waters did not have a significant impact on the diversity and ecological status of benthic diatom assemblages, but an increase in utilization types decreased functional richness. Protection strategies need to be improved to effectively support the high biodiversity of algae.

Cyanobacterial blooms in oligotrophic lakes: Shifting the high-nutrient paradigm

Kaitlin L. Reinl et al.

Summary: This review examines the evidence and explanations for cyanobacterial blooms in oligotrophic freshwater systems, highlighting the unique physiological adaptations of cyanobacteria that allow them to thrive in low-nutrient conditions. To fully understand and effectively manage cyanobacterial blooms, research should expand to consider systems along the trophic gradient rather than solely focusing on eutrophic systems.

Biovolume and surface area calculations for microalgae, using realistic 3D models

Gabor Borics et al.

Summary: This study introduces a novel approach using real-like 3D mesh objects to visualize microalgae and calculate their volume and surface area. By calculating specific shape and surface area constants, accurate volume and surface area can be quickly computed for each taxon, providing new possibilities for data analyses in the field of phytoplankton ecology.
