"Everything changes and nothing stands still" (Heraclitus). Here we review three major improvements to freshwater aquatic ecosystem models — ecological in general as water quality scenario analysis tools towards a sustainable future. To tackle the rapid deeply connected dynamics characteristic of Anthropocene, argue for inclusion eco-evolutionary, novel social-ecological dynamics. These arise from adaptive responses organisms ecosystems global environmental change act at different...

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...
Eutrophication poses a threat to lake ecosystem services provisioning worldwide. When eutrophic lakes are connected other water systems, either through flows, or organismal movement and dispersal, their excess nutrients affect nearby too. Understanding nutrient transport dynamics in meta-ecosystems is not trivial, as it encompasses the complexity of ecosystems themselves (i.e., food web dynamics, cycling) between ecosystems. Hitherto, remains unknown how heterogeneity affects ecological...
Nutrients are essential resources for food production but used inefficiently, and thereby they pollute inland coastal waters lost into the oceans. Nutrient conservation by retention consecutive reuse would prevent nutrient losses to atmosphere downstream ecosystems. We present Smart Retention Networks (SNRNs) as a novel management approach achieve across networks of connected waterbodies through strategic water quality management. To key features SNRNs, we review existing knowledge processes...
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are exceptionally rich in biodiversity and provide essential benefits to people. Yet they disproportionately threatened compared terrestrial marine systems remain underrepresented the scenarios models used for global environmental assessments. The Nature Futures Framework (NFF) has recently been proposed advance contribution of This framework places diverse relationships between people nature at its core, identifying three value perspectives as points...
Abstract Ongoing anthropogenic and climatic pressures on inland waters have made water quality management a challenge of the 21st century. A holistic catchment‐scale approach to which includes stakeholder participation will be key in maintaining lake health. first step toward community engagement is bolster environmental literacy management, ecology, eutrophication concepts stakeholders now future generations. However, communicating with nonwater professionals about effects pollution...
This paper describes a multisource data integration method for creating 28-class 1998 land-cover map of the state Georgia. The methodology is unique in both number and integrating sources. An assessment map's accuracy metropolitan Atlanta region using color infrared digital ortho-quarter quads preliminary state-wide low altitude aerial videography presented. We estimate overall to be 86.3% 83.9%. anticipate that this dataset will useful wide range mapping, modeling, planning exercises across...
