英文摘要 | Human and ecological health have been threatened by the increase of cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems. Successful mitigation of this risk requires understanding the factors driving cyanoHABs at a broad scale. To inform management priorities and decisions, we employed random forest modeling to identify major cyanoHAB drivers in 369 freshwater lakes distributed across 15 upper Midwest states during the 2011 bloom season (July – October). We used Cyanobacteria Index (CI_cyano)—a remotely sensed product derived from the MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) aboard the European Space Agency’s Envisat satellite—as the response variable to obtain variable importance metrics for 75 landscape and lake physiographic predictor variables. Lakes were stratified into high and low elevation categories to further focus CI_cyano variable importance identification by anthropogenic and natural influences. ‘High elevation’ watershed land cover (LC) was primarily forest or natural vegetation, compared with ‘low elevation’ watersheds LC dominated by anthropogenic landscapes (e.g., agriculture, municipalities, etc.). We used the top ranked 25 RF variables to create a classification and regression tree (CART) for both low and high elevation lake designations to identify variable thresholds for possible management mitigation. Mean CI_cyano was three times larger for ‘low elevation’ lakes than for ‘high elevation’ lakes, with both mean values exceeding the ‘High’ World Health Organization recreational guidance/action level threshold for cyanobacteria (100,000 cells/mL). Agrarian–related variables were prominent across all 369 lakes and low elevation lakes. High elevation lakes showed more influence of lakeside LC than for the low elevation lakes.
