Water clarity is a well-established first-order indicator of water quality and has been used
globally by water regulators in their monitoring and management programs. Assessments of …

Angelo Secchi was an astrophysicist and a pioneer in the use of spectroscopy in that field
and also contributed to meteorology and geodesy. His only contribution to oceanography …

Many factors have been reported to affect material cycling in lakes, but the combined and
cascading impacts of external environmental factors and in-lake biota on lake carbon cycling …

Water transparency, commonly measured as Secchi disk depth (SDD), is essential for
describing the optical properties of coastal waters. We proposed a regional linear corrected …

The estimation of water clarity in coastal and inland waters from satellite images is limited by
significant uncertainties attributable to the optical complexity of these waters. To address this …

Microbes serve as important components of ecosystem services and biogeochemical
processes in plateau lakes. However, the features of microbiota assembly, abundance and …

Water clarity controls a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological processes and thus
is an important environmental variable for assessing both the climatic and human activity …

Microbes in various aquatic ecosystems play a key role in global energy fluxes and
biogeochemical processes. However, the detailed patterns on the functional structure and …

Harmful algal blooms caused by cyanobacteria have been increasing in frequency
worldwide. However, the main environmental drivers of this change are often difficult to …

The state transition theory suggests that the decline of submerged macrophytes in shallow
lakes is closely associated with reduced stoichiometric homeostasis, particularly …
