Impacts of long-term increase in silicon concentration on diatom blooms in Lake Kasumigaura, Japan
・ The long-term increase in diatom abundance and the shift of blooming season were detected in Lake Kasumigaura, Japan.
・ Model simulation suggested that Si release from resuspended sediments caused the increase.
・ The degradation of light condition due to resuspension probably affected the shift of blooming season.
