Long-term wind induced internal response mechanisms at Meiliang Bay of large, shallow Lake Taihu
, , and
Wind is the key external driver playing vital role for internal ecosystem transitions. The decreased wind speeds along with slow directional switching intensifies algal blooms.The temporal trends of wind, temperature and Chl-a have been found highly connected at Lake Taihu. The changes in nutrients and lower mixing scenarios trigger the growth of Chl-a. The onshore lower winds help in formation of cyanobacterial colonies.
