Abstract Lakes around the world are sensitive to water quality degradation and eutrophication through increases in primary production. Understanding drivers of production has been a fundamental question limnology since its early days. Here, we conducted systematic review develop dataset chemistry lake morphometry for 3874 lakes distributed across 47 countries answer: (1) What is global relationship between chlorophyll (Chl ) total phosphorus (TP) lakes? (2) Are there inflection points at...
Abstract Measures of chlorophyll represent the algal biomass in freshwater lakes that is often used by managers as a proxy for water quality and lake productivity. However, concentrations are dependent on many interacting factors, including nutrient inputs, mixing regime, depth, climate, anthropogenic activities within watershed. Therefore, integrating broad scale dataset physical, chemical, biological characteristics can help elucidate response ecosystems to global change. We synthesized...
Climate change is predicted to intensify lake algal blooms globally and result in regime shifts. However, observed increases biomass do not consistently correlate with air temperature or precipitation, evidence lacking for a causal effect of climate the nonlinear dynamics needed demonstrate We modeled effects on annual chlorophyll (a measure biomass) over 34 y 24,452 lakes across broad ecoclimatic zones United States evaluated potential found that was causally related 34% lakes. In these...
Gravel-pit lakes are a common feature of many human-modified landscapes throughout the world. In Canada's north, they often formed when gravel is extracted to construct dams, bridges, and highways. Past studies suggest that gravel-pit differ from natural in terms their morphometry, water quality, biological communities. this study, we compared by sampling between Inuvik Fort McPherson Northwest Territories. We collected lake data (zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, fish presence) six fifteen...
Increasing agricultural development and urbanization exacerbates the degradation of water quality in vulnerable freshwater systems around world. Advances remote sensing greater availability open-access data provides a valuable resource for monitoring but harmonizing between databases remains challenge. Here, we: (i) developed pseudo-watershed analytical framework to associate lakes with adjacent land cover human population (ii) applied quantify relative influence on primary production 9313...
