Water managers worldwide are facing the serious problem of dense blooms of
cyanobacteria in surface waters. In the quest for the optimal method to combat …

This is the Editorial to a Special Issue entitled “Cyanobacterial blooms. Ecology, prevention,
mitigation and control”. The Special Issue is a product of a European COST Action …

Nuisance, toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent and globally expanding problem.
Prevention of blooms requires that external and internal sources of nutrients are managed to …

Cyanobacterial dominance in lakes has received much attention in the past because of
frequent bloom formation in lakes of higher trophic levels. In this paper, underlying …

We considered the limnological literature for an overview of biomanipulation methods that
were implemented to avoid or reduce cyanobacterial bloom development in ponds and …

The aim of this paper was to summarize the current knowledge on how physical methods
can reduce or control internal P release from sediments in lakes and reservoirs. Particular …

Harmful blooms of cyanobacteria (CyanoHABs) have increased globally and cyanotoxins
associated with some CyanoHAB species pose serious health risks for animals and …

Increased external nutrient loads of anthropogenic origin, especially those of phosphorus
(P), were one of the major causes of eutrophication during the first half of the twentieth …

As human populations increase and land-use intensifies, toxic and unsightly nuisance
blooms of algae are becoming larger and more frequent in freshwater lakes. In most cases …

In the Netherlands, legacies and diffuse nutrient pollution continue to fuel recurrent
cyanobacterial blooms in mostly shallow and relatively small surface waters. A survey in …
