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...
Globally the number of relatively deep, isolated lakes is increasing because sand, gravel, or clay excavation activities. The major areas are located within delta rivers, and thus deep freshwater ecosystems formed upon excavation, called quarry lakes, unique to landscape. They embedded in a landscape comprised shallow, naturally lakes. Given that by definition novel ecosystems, water managers face difficulties optimally managing them deliver ecosystem services using existing frameworks...
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...
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...
