Environmental factors influencing the quantitative distribution of microcystin and common potentially toxigenic cyanobacteria in U.S. lakes and reservoirs

Abstract: Many species of cyanobacteria are capable of producing toxins and causing nuisance blooms, however response to environmental conditions is likely taxon-specific. Environmental factors influencing cyanobacterial composition and toxin production in lakes have been examined in many studies; yet are often confined to individual water bodies, or to a small number of systems within the same region. Here, data from the 2012 USEPA National Lakes Assessment are used to examine relationships between biovolume of common … Show more

“…Dominance was determined by a combination of (i) water column characteristics, that are related to the intensity of local anthropogenic pressures (TN and TN:TP) and meteorological conditions (water temperature and stratification), and (ii) the capacity of waterbodies to buffer these pressures (surface, depth) or the potential for immigration of taxa from other lakes including harmful algea (connection to the hydrological network). Our results support previous investigations showing that high N concentrations (Almanza et al, 2018;Beaver et al, 2018;Bonilla et al, 2012;Marion et al, 2017;Paerl and Otten, 2016;Persaud et al, 2015) and warmer waters (Dokulil and Teubner, 2000;Paerl and Huisman, 2008;Wagner and Adrian, 2009) favor the dominance of Cyanobacteria in phytoplankton communities at large scales. This is thought to be related to the particular ecological traits of these organisms (Mantzouki et al, 2016), such as higher increase in growth rates per unit of temperature compared with other groups (Carey et al, 2012), their ability to fix atmospheric N 2 , or to regulate their buoyancy in stratified water columns associated with warmer waters (Rinke et al, 2010).…”

“…dominance in phytoplankton communities are still relatively scarce (Almanza et al, 2018) or were mostly focused on Cyanobacteria (Beaver et al, 2018;Marion et al, 2017;O'Farrell et al, 2019) and sometimes on only one or two species (Bonilla et al, 2012;Marmen et al, 2016). Moreover, there is no comparison of the consequence of dominance by various organisms on the structure and functioning of phytoplankton communities.…”

“…As an important component in aquatic coastal ecosystems, marine picophytoplankton are vital contributors of primary production [2] and perform a range of ecological roles in carbon xation, nutrient cycling and regulating overall food-web dynamics [3]. Nevertheless, eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems has led to an increase in the frequency and intensity of picophytoplankton blooms worldwide, which generally represent the rst responders to environmental perturbation [4][5][6]. This is of particular concern in densely populated shores where the usage and impacts of human populations on coastal ecosystems are strongly interconnected.…”
