Unraveling Associations between Cyanobacteria Blooms and In-Lake Environmental Conditions in Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain, USA, Using a Modified Self-Organizing Map

Environmental Science & Technology, 47(24), 14267–14274.

MeSH headings : Bays / microbiology; Cyanobacteria / metabolism; Environmental Monitoring; Eutrophication; Geography; Lakes / microbiology; Nitrogen / analysis; Phosphorus / analysis; Phytoplankton / physiology; Solubility; United States
TL;DR: Analysis of physical, chemical, and biological data from sediments and water in Lake Champlain reveals a strong relationship between cyanobacteria, sediment anoxia, and the ratio of dissolved nitrogen to soluble reactive phosphorus, and suggests another environmental trigger may be required to initiate the bloom.
