- Abstract
The article focuses on the triggers behind toxic cyanobacterial blooms in Missisquoi Bay on Lake Champlain using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing. It states that non-point sources are responsible for high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the bay, with nutrient concentrations and total phosphorus:total nitrogen ratios approaching 1:11, along with warmer temperatures, promote the blooms. It correlates total and dissolved phosphorus with rainfall.
