Who eats who—or indeed, whom—in fresh water? Allow us to explain the difference between a food web, a food chain and trophic levels—and what that means in a lake… (It's definitely whom, by the way...) https://t.co/cqk4ilQ8nF

Here's a new @GWF_pubs from our @GWFutures work on a cyano bloom affected reservoir. The reservoir was originally built to ensure summer river flows. It's used by many people. Increases in extreme rainfall now make toxin-producing blooms occur earlier in the summer.

Conditions that cause a toxin-producing cyanobacteria bloom came early because of a v large rain event - these events are expected to become more frequent. Thus "effectively elongating the bloom season period of potential toxicity" @GWFutures

Preprint is out for our study on phytoplankton blooms at @IISD_ELA! Long-term monitoring data + process-oriented modeling reveal interactions between higher temps and external fertilization, resulting in higher blooms. Collab w/ @JJVenky @couturerm & Twitterless others

Interested in iron cycling or #boreal lakes? We find evidence of photoferrotrophs (bizarre photosynthetic bacteria) in the bottom waters of lakes at @IISD_ELA via #metagenomics and cultivation. Pre-print at https://t.co/33ysJ309km @joshdneufeld

Intersting findings by Dr. Megan Larsen @Laurier about the role of precipitation - and subsequent pulse of phosphorus - can stimulate harmful algal blooms; a rainfall event in 2017 increased phosphorus 35x in Conestogo Lake, Ontario #ifhab19 @JJVenky

Water: We drink it. We swim in it. We farm with it. We waste it. Canadians use a lot of water, but we have less of it than you think. Research from #Laurier is informing – and preparing – Canadians about the changes that may lie ahead #EarthDay
