Algal blooms, including those containing cyanobacteria, are of environmental concern due to the toxicities of some of the constituent microorganisms. This compromises the safety of freshwater causing illness in livestock and humans. We present historical accounts of algal blooms occurring during the 18th and 19th centuries indicating that the advent of intensive farming in the 17th century provided nutrients for promoting harmful algal blooms.
藻华，包括那些含有蓝细菌的藻华，因其某些组成微生物的毒性而受到环境关注。这损害了淡水的安全性，导致牲畜和人类患病。我们呈现了18世纪和19世纪发生的藻华的历史记录，表明17世纪集约化农业的出现为有害藻华的滋生提供了养分。
