Interactions Between Algal Species Could Help Predict Harmful Algal Blooms
A comprehensive study of harmful algal blooms along the Chilean coast analyzed 28 years of phytoplankton data using Empirical Dynamic Modelling. The research revealed two key findings about Pseudo-nitzschia species: salinity uniquely influences their populations, and interactions with other diatom species play a crucial role in bloom dynamics.
