Climate Impact on Phytoplankton Blooms in Shallow Lakes Data-Based Model Approaches and Model-Guided Data Analyses

Lake ecosystems across the globe have responded to climate warming of recent decades and are expected to further change in the future. Anticipating impacts that are detrimental to water quality is critically important given that lakes constitute a major part of the earth’s freshwater resources. A central concern is the climate impact on phytoplankton, including algae and cyanobacteria, since it forms the basis of the food chain and decisively influences water quality.
