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...
Eutrophication continues to be a concerning global water quality issue. Managing and mitigating harmful algal blooms demands clear information on the conditions promoting large phosphorus losses from contributing watersheds. Of particular concern is amount form of loading receiving bodies during extreme runoff events, which are expected increase in frequency due climate change. Five years (2015 2020) quantity data 11 agricultural watersheds lower Great Lakes basin were analyzed used model...
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...
<p>In watersheds impacted by urban growth and road salt usage, increasing stream chloride (Cl<sup>-</sup>) concentrations are well-documented. Peaks in Cl<sup>-</sup> that exceed chronic and/or acute water quality guidelines typical the winter salting season when (from Cl<sup>-</sup>-based de-icers) is flushed from landscape but not easily measured with grab samples. In some cases, conditions...
