Response of Tibetan Plateau lakes to climate change: Trends, patterns, and mechanisms
G Zhang, T Yao, H ** reveals increase in lacustrine algal blooms over the past decade
Algal blooms constitute an emerging threat to global inland water quality, yet their spatial
and temporal distribution at the global scale remains largely unknown. Here we establish a …
