Distinct interaction effects of warming and anthropogenic input on diatoms and dinoflagellates in an urbanized estuarine ecosystem

From 1999 to 2017, the proportion of diatoms and dinoflagellates in Pearl River Estuary almost doubled. The increase in diatoms is not due to the improvement of water quality, but because human activities in the pearl river estuary have changed the temperature and nutrients of seawater and affected the growth of algae. Not all
diatoms are harmless to marine organisms, and some diatoms are even harmful to the nerves of marine mammals and birds. Therefore, algal bloom is a major environmental issue, and the research findings can help predict and even prevent the occurrence of algal blooms.
