Fine Sediment Contributions to Cyanobacterial Growth: Potential Threats to Drinking Water Reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-14)In the drinking water industry, the transport and release of nutrients such as phosphorus (P) to the water column is largely overlooked in reservoir management. Phosphorus is considered the key limiting nutrient for algal ... -
The Role of Nitrate in Controlling Iron Release from Sediment during Anoxia in Dimictic, Fresh Water Lakes
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-16)Recent research suggests the availability of reduced iron (Fe) is key in allowing cyanobacteria to outcompete eukaryotic phytoplankton. Cyanobacteria have a greater need for Fe than their eukaryotic competition and are ...
