Record-setting algal bloom in Lake Erie caused by agricultural and meteorological trends consistent with expected future conditions
Anna M. Michalak,Eric J. Anderson,Dimitry Beletsky,Steven Boland,Nathan S. Bosch,Thomas B. Bridgeman,Justin D. Chaffin,Kyung Hwa Cho,Rem Confesor,Irem Daloğlu,Jospeh DePinto,Mary Anne Evans,Gary L. Fahnenstiel,Lingli He,Jeff C. Ho,Liza K. Jenkins,Liza K. Jenkins,Thomas H. Johengen,Kevin C Kuo,Elizabeth LaPorte,Xiaojian Liu,Michael McWilliams,Michael R. Moore,Derek J. Posselt,R. Peter Richards,Donald Scavia,Allison L. Steiner,Edward M. Verhamme,David M. Wright,Melissa A. Zagorski +29 more
TL;DR: It is shown that long-term trends in agricultural practices are consistent with increasing phosphorus loading to the western basin of the lake, and that these trends, coupled with meteorological conditions in spring 2011, produced record-breaking nutrient loads.
Widespread global increase in intense lake phytoplankton blooms since the 1980s
TL;DR: Three decades of high-resolution Landsat 5 satellite imagery are used to investigate long-term trends in intense summertime near-surface phytoplankton blooms for 71 large lakes globally, revealing a worldwide exacerbation of bloom conditions.

Eutrophication will increase during the 21st century as a result of precipitation changes.
TL;DR: It is shown that climate change–induced precipitation changes alone will substantially increase riverine total nitrogen loading within the continental United States by the end of the century for the “business-as-usual” scenario, and would require a 33 ± 24% reduction in nitrogen inputs, representing a massive management challenge.

TL;DR: This analysis of three independent datasets of gross primary productivity shows that, across diverse ecosystems, drought recovery times are strongly associated with climate and carbon cycle dynamics, with biodiversity and CO2 fertilization as secondary factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, recent trends in key eutrophication-related properties, assess their likely ecological impacts, and develop load response curves to guide revised hypoxia-based loading targets called for in the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
