Cyanobacterial blooms have become a frequent phenomenon in freshwaters worldwide; they are a widely known indicator of eutrophication and water quality deterioration. Information and knowledge contributing towards the evaluation of the ecological status of freshwaters, particularly since many are used for recreation, drinking water, and aquaculture, is valuable. This Special Issue, entitled “Advancing Knowledge on Cyanobacterial Blooms in Freshwaters”, includes 11 research papers that will focus on the use of complementary approaches, from the most recently developed molecular-based methods to more classical approaches and experimental and mathematical modelling regarding the factors (abiotic and/or biotic) that control the diversity of not only the key bloom-forming cyanobacterial species, but also their interactions with other biota, either in freshwater systems or their adjacent habitats, and their role in preventing and/or promoting cyanobacterial growth and toxin production.

推进有关淡水中蓝藻水华的知识

蓝藻水华已成为全球淡水中的常见现象。它们是众所周知的富营养化和水质恶化的指标。有助于评估淡水生态状况的信息和知识，特别是因为许多淡水用于娱乐、饮用水和水产养殖，是有价值的。本期特刊题为“提高淡水中蓝藻水华的知识”，包括 11 篇研究论文，重点关注互补方法的使用，从最近开发的基于分子的方法到更经典的方法以及有关因素的实验和数学建模（非生物的和/或生物的）不仅控制主要形成水华的蓝藻物种的多样性，而且控制它们与其他生物群的相互作用，
