What is it about?
This study focused on the composition and stability of blooms as well as their taxa-specific ecological sensitivity to the main causal factors (especially phosphorus and nitrogen) in degraded urban lakes.

Why is it important?
This article concerns phytoplankton (including plant-like, animal-like algae and Cyanobacteria) blooms, which have recently become a serious global threat to the sustenance of ecosystems, to human and animal health and to economy.
Perspectives
Proper recognition of the taxa-specific response to abiotic (especially to N and P enrichment) and biotic factors could have significant implications for further water protection and management.
