OverviewAI-generated summary

Felicia S. Osburn's research investigates factors influencing cyanobacteria growth, bloom magnitude, and toxin production. Her work examines the effects of salinity and nutrient ratios (N:P) on both nitrogen-fixing and non-nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, as well as the eco-physiological traits and ionome of diazotrophic cyanobacteria under varying nitrogen supply. Osburn also studies the spatial distribution of phytoplankton taxa, which she has found to be controlled by geospatial and physicochemical variables. Her research on lake stability and anoxia dynamics utilizes high-frequency vertical profiling in eutrophic reservoirs. Additionally, she has explored the variation in iron and its potential relevance to phytoplankton ecology in Oklahoma reservoirs. Osburn has 16 publications, a h-index of 5, and has been cited 130 times. She has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Central Arkansas.
