Dianchi Lake, located in southwest China's Yungui plateau, is facing severe eutrophication and frequent outbreaks of harmful cyanobacteria blooms (CyanoHABs). It is of great significance to monitor the occurrence and development of CyanoHABs in Dianchi Lake over a long period and analyse the main influences. Based on Landsat Thematic Mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus/Operational Land Imager 1986-2016 data, we derived the distribution of the CyanoHABs in Dianchi Lake, and analysed spatial-temporal dynamics of the CyanoHABs by correlation with nutrition, meteorological, and humanities data. The results showed that the first outbreak of CyanoHABs in Dianchi Lake occurred in 1987, which is likely to be influenced by a rapid increase of nutrients in the lake, while the weather conditions also have some impact on the CyanoHABs occurrence. After 1990, the frequency of CyanoHABs is relatively high in the water near Longmen village, Fubao Bay, Hui Bay, and the lake inlet of the Panlong River to the north of Waihai in Dianchi Lake from June to November every year. Moreover, the CyanoHABs increased year by year until 2000. This is closely related to population growth and economic development. Furthermore, a large amount of precipitation and small wind speeds can also promote the occurrence of CyanoHABs. After 2000, the frequency of CyanoHABs decreased, as the large-scale management of water pollution in Dianchi Lake achieved certain effects. The area and frequency of CyanoHABs from 2011 to 2014 are the smallest in the last 20 years, which may be related to the large-scale planting of Eichhornia crassipes in the north of Dianchi Lake.
