Modeling Physical and Physiological Processes Reveals the Role of Turbulence in the Prerequisites for Microcystis Blooms

Abstract Harmful algal blooms of Microcystis have become a global problem. Turbulence, a determining factor affecting blooms, not only disperses surface scum but also controls the growth of Microcystis. Numerous studies have analyzed the effects of turbulence on the growth and colony size of Microcy...
