The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people
BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …

Ecology under lake ice
Winter conditions are rapidly changing in temperate ecosystems, particularly for those that
experience periods of snow and ice cover. Relatively little is known of winter ecology in …

Loss of ice cover, shifting phenology, and more extreme events in Northern Hemisphere lakes
Long‐term lake ice phenological records from around the Northern Hemisphere provide
unique sensitive indicators of climatic variations, even prior to the existence of physical …

Lakes as sentinels of climate change
While there is a general sense that lakes can act as sentinels of climate change, their
efficacy has not been thoroughly analyzed. We identified the key response variables within a …

Combined effects of heatwaves and micropollutants on freshwater ecosystems: Towards an integrated assessment of extreme events in multiple stressors research
Freshwater ecosystems are strongly influenced by weather extremes such as heatwaves
(HWs), which are predicted to increase in frequency and magnitude in the future. In addition …

The interaction between climate warming and eutrophication to promote cyanobacteria is dependent on trophic state and varies among taxa
Cyanobacteria are predicted to increase due to climate and land use change. However, the
relative importance and interaction of warming temperatures and increased nutrient …

A review of the potential impacts of climate change on surface water quality
It is now accepted that some human-induced climate change is unavoidable. Potential
impacts on water supply have received much attention, but relatively little is known about the …
