Eutrophication and warming boost cyanobacterial biomass and microcystins
M Lürling, F Van Oosterhout, E Faassen - Toxins, 2017 - mdpi.com
Eutrophication and warming are key drivers of cyanobacterial blooms, but their combined
effects on microcystin (MC) concentrations are less studied. We tested the hypothesis that …
