•There were no clear latitudinal or climatic trends in cyanobacterial biomass.•Phosphorus was the main driver of cyanobacterial biomass throughout the Americas.•Nitrogen was most relevant in shallow lakes at high total phosphorus and high pH.•Temperature was not a significant factor in predicting cy...
