Abstract:

Cyanobacterial blooms present substantial challenges to managers and threaten ecological and public health. Although the majority of cyanobacterial bloom research focuses on factors that underpin bloom initiation, duration, and geographical extent, relatively little research focuses on the regulators of bloom loss. We will discuss the biological (e.g., herbivory, programmed cell death, viral and fungal infections), chemical (e.g., nutrient limitation and ratios, salinity, anthropogenic organic pollutants), and physical factors (e.g., hydraulic flushing, wind/convective mixing, water temperature and stratification patterns, UV light) known to cause bloom loss. We will address how future climate change scenarios may directly and indirectly affect bloom loss in marine, brackish, and freshwater systems. An increased understanding of bloom loss processes will help better mitigate negative consequences of cyanobacterial blooms.
