Combined Earth observations reveal the sequence of conditions leading to a large algal bloom in Lake Geneva
Abstract Freshwater algae exhibit complex dynamics, particularly in meso-oligotrophic lakes with sudden and dramatic increases in algal biomass following long periods of low background concentration. While the fundamental prerequisites for algal blooms, namely light and nutrient availability, are we...
