Eutrophication, the cycle whereby nutrients overstimulate the growth of potentially harmful plankton and cyanobacterial “blooms” in freshwater lakes, has become a problem for more than 60% of global inland waters. The problem is set to be exacerbated by climate change, and so our priority should be to further reduce external nutrient inputs to diminish the basis of cyanobacterial bloom outbreaks.
