In an upcoming paper, Max Bothwell, a scientist at Environment Canada, proposed that climate change is one of four factors — along
with atmospheric deposition of nitrogen from fossil fuel burning — boosting the blooms.

«While concentrations measured in Antarctic ice cores are very low, the records show that
atmospheric concentrations and
deposition rates increased approximately six-fold in the late 1880s, coincident
with the start of mining at Broken Hill in southern Australia and smelting at nearby Port Pirie.»
«That balance is negative,
with greater outputs from harvest and leaching, than inputs from
atmospheric deposition and fertilizers, so what is missing is coming from the soil.
The flux of nutrients associated
with this discharge consists of an annual median of three million tonnes of nitrogen, twenty thousand of phosphorus, and three million of silica, which represent a magnitude of inorganic nutrients comparable to that of external sources traditionally considered in marine studies, such as the
atmospheric deposition and riverine runoff.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, these effects were amplified in areas where
atmospheric sulfate
deposition had been experimentally elevated to begin
with.
The relationship between N2O fluxes and NO3 — concentrations is consistent
with observations from small streams (Baulch et al. 2011) as well as observed positive relationships between concentrations of N2O and NO3 — in reservoirs (Beaulieu et al. 2015) and in lakes receiving
atmospheric nitrogen
deposition (McCrackin and Elser 2011).
Reductions in NPP in the South Pacific were associated
with a 35 percent decline in
atmospheric iron
deposition.
They showed the evidence to 77 domain experts (i.e.,
atmospheric chemists
with expertise in condensation trails, and geochemists working on
atmospheric deposition of dust and pollution), and asked about each of the claims made by «SLAP theorists.»
In both the United States and Europe, however, most sediment and peat record reconstructions show higher
deposition of
atmospheric divalent mercury during the 1970s (10, 11, 14), simultaneous
with the peak in worldwide production of mercury of ≈ 107 kg year − 1 (Fig. 2B)(49).
