Despite significant declines in external phosphorus loads, Lake of the Woods continues to
experience severe recurring cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) covering as much …

Cyanobacteria produce toxic/bioactive metabolites that affect human and ecosystem health
via inhibition of proteases, carboxypeptidases, or phosphatases. From surface water …

In mineral-rich areas, eutrophic lakes are at risk of HMs pollution. However, few papers
focused on the repair of HMs in eutrophic environment. Our study analyzed multiple forms of …

This paper presents the development of a three-dimensional hydrodynamic-ecological
model for Lake of the Woods (LoW) to assess the impact of nutrient inputs on the lake's …

This study reports directly measured nitrification rates in the water column of western Lake
Erie, which is affected by annual cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms, and across all three …

Outside of the five Great Lakes, Lake of the Woods (LoW) is the largest transboundary lake
shared by Canada and the United States. Over the last two decades, an international …

The chlorophyll-a is an important biological parameter that could act as a proxy to indicate
the abundance of phytoplankton and the primary productivity of an aquatic ecosystem. This …

Cyanobacterial bioactive metabolites (cyanotoxins/cyanopeptides) inhibit enzymes such as
proteases, carboxypeptidases, and phosphatases that disrupt metabolic processes relevant …

Common carp Cyprinus carpio are dominant in Australian lakes. Biological control of carp
using a virus would drastically reduce numbers. This thesis aimed to better understand the …
