Climate Impacts on Algae<br />

10<br />

• Temperature<br />

Warmer temperatures encourage blooms (Pearl <strong>and</strong><br />

Huisman, 2008)<br />

Warmer temperatures increase the odor intensity of VOCs at<br />

very low concentrations, increasing consumer detection<br />

(Whelton et al., 2004)<br />

• Precipitation<br />

Long antecedent dry periods increase nutrient content of<br />

runoff<br />

Low rainfall can cause stagnant conditions in the watershed<br />

• Wind/storms<br />

Heavy storms <strong>and</strong> strong wind can mix reservoirs,<br />

reintroducing nutrients into the water column from bottom<br />

sediments
