Fighting Lake Erie’s algal blooms with healthier soils
The rich agricultural history of the Western Lake Erie Basin has taken its toll on the land's soil health. Consequently, the fertilizers used today to keep fields productive and provide essential nutrients to crops are also helping fuel the lake's infamous and harmful algal blooms. But researchers led by Jennifer Blesh of the University of Michigan are working with farmers to reset that first domino and keep it from falling-or at least to minimize its impact-without compromising crop yields.
