Abstract Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms have become ubiquitous, posing major threats to ecological and public health. Decades of research focused on understanding drivers these with a primary focus eutrophic systems; however, also occur in oligotrophic systems, but received far less attention, resulting gap our overall. In this review, we explore evidence freshwater systems provide explanations for those occurrences. We show that through their unique physiological adaptations,...
Abstract The analysis of concentration‐discharge (C‐Q) relationships from low‐frequency observations is commonly used to assess solute sources, mobilization, and reactive transport processes at the catchment scale. High‐frequency concentration measurements are increasingly available offer additional insights into event‐scale export dynamics. However, only few studies have integrated inter‐annual C‐Q relationships. Here, we analyze high‐frequency specific conductance (EC), nitrate (NO 3 ‐N)...
Harmful algal blooms are symptomatic of eutrophication and lead to deterioration water quality ecosystem services. Extreme climatic events could enhance resulting in more severe nuisance blooms, while they also may hamper current restoration efforts aimed reduce nutrient loads. Evaluation measures on their efficacy under climate change is essential for effective management. We conducted a two-month mesocosm experiment hypertrophic urban canal focussing the reduction sediment phosphorus...
Computational models are complex scientific constructs that have become essential for us to better understand the world. Many valuable peers within and beyond disciplinary boundaries. However, there no widely agreed-upon standards sharing models. This paper suggests 10 simple rules you both (i) ensure share in a way is at least “good enough,” (ii) enable others lead change towards model-sharing practices.
Abstract Eutrophication has been identified as the primary cause of water quality deterioration in inland waters worldwide, often associated with algal blooms or fish kills. can be controlled through watershed management and in-lake measures. An extreme heatwave event, its impact on mineralization rates internal nutrient loading (phosphorus—P, nitrogen—N), could counteract eutrophication control We investigated how effectiveness a abatement technique is impacted by an heatwave, to what...
The anomalous past two years of the COVID-19 pandemic have been a test human response to global crisis management as typical activities were significantly altered. COVID-instigated anthropause has illustrated influence that humans and biosphere on each other, especially given variety national mobility interventions implemented globally. These local COVID-19-era restrictions influenced human-ecosystem interactions through changes in accessibility water systems ecosystem service demand. Four...
Healthy freshwater ecosystems can provide vital ecosystem services (ESs), and this capacity may be hampered due to water quality deterioration climate change. In the currently available ES modeling tools, processes are either absent or oversimplified, hindering evaluation of impacts restoration measures on provisioning. study, we propose an tool that integrates lake physics, ecology service provisioning into a holistic framework. We applied model Dutch quarry lake, evaluate how nine ESs...
Rising dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is interfering with drinking water production. While strategies for DOC removal during treatment have been successfully implemented, the potential load reduction by optimized reservoir operation not yet fully explored, mainly constrained data paucity on real-time dynamics. In this study, we utilized emerging in situ high-frequency (HF) monitoring technique and developed a simulation–operation framework that promotes mitigation Germany's largest...
Abstract The climatic stressors that are affecting lake ecosystems, especially phytoplankton, projected to become more intense with continued climate change (e.g., heatwaves, precipitation events). Concerns over the combined effects multiple, coinciding can have on phytoplankton necessitates investigating impacts of different regional scenarios. A microcosm study was conducted assess responses a assemblage containing cyanobacterium ( Anabaena flos‐aquae ), green alga Chlorella vulgaris ) and...
The 4th Aquatic Ecosystem MOdeling Network—Junior (AEMON-J) Hacking Limnology Workshop and 5th Virtual Summit: Incorporating Data Science Open in the Sciences (DSOS) convened 15–19 July 2024. During week, these joint communities engaged activities at intersection of big data, open science, modeling, remote sensing, aquatic sciences. weeklong event, with over 100 science practitioners enthusiasts, followed a similar structure to previous years, comprising three days workshops by two virtual...
