Key Points

Hypolimnetic photosynthesis precedes a Microcystis bloom, influencing ecosystem dynamics and water quality.
Key evidence shows increased photosynthetic activity correlates with bloom emergence in a naturalized reservoir.
Observational analysis across multiple seasons highlights interactions between light conditions and Microcystis growth.
Findings suggest a need for monitoring strategies in oligo-mesotrophic systems to manage bloom risks.
