The land-use legacy effect: towards a mechanistic understanding of time-lagged water quality responses to land use/cover
Numerous studies have linked land use/land cover (LULC) to aquatic ecosystem responses,
however only a few have included the dynamics of changing LULC in their analysis. In this …
