Question
Chapter 26.L1, Problem 1CSR
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way in which the cyanobacteria in Lake Erie may be described.
Introduction:
Lake Erie is the most productive of great lakes as it is shallowest (210 feet) of all great lakes and the sunlight can hence easily penetrate through it. This has given rise to harmful blooms in the lake which has been increasing since 2011.
