The increased use of hydropower is currently driving the greatest surge in global dam
construction since the mid-20th century, meaning that most major rivers on Earth are now …

In recent decades, damming has become one of the most important anthropogenic activities
for river regulation, and reservoirs have become hotspots for biogeochemical cycling. The …

Groundwater is widely recognized as a source of lake materials. When it discharges into
lakes, phosphorus (P)‑iron (Fe) geochemical reactions occur due to environmental changes …

High biogenic silica (BSi) concentration occurs sporadically in lake sediments throughout
the world, however, the processes leading to high BSi concentrations varies. While BSi …

Studying groundwater inflow and quantifying its flux into aquatic systems remain challenging
because of geological and topographical heterogeneities. In this study, we measured the …

Unicellular photosynthetic golden algae called diatoms are one of the most abundant
silicifying organisms. Diatoms take up silicon and build their frustules, in the form of biogenic …

Phosphorus (P) is a key limiting nutrient for algal growth in freshwater whose excess loading
to freshwater bodies contributes to cultural eutrophication and the associated symptoms of …

Sixty-seven streams located south-west of Lake Nipigon, Ontario, were sampled for brook
trout and macroinvertebrate orders. Sixteen orders were used to determine if their …
