Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

Algae, the dominant primary producers in many aquatic ecosystems, are critical to global
biogeochemical cycling, and changes in their abundance and composition can cascade …

Over recent decades, palaeolimnological records from remote sites have provided
convincing evidence for the onset and development of several facets of global …

The fossil record of diatoms in lake sediments can be used to assess the effects of climate
variability on lake ecosystems if ecological relationships between diatom community …

We report a fossil diatom record from small closed-basin Lago Lepué (43° S) to examine
past changes in freshwater ecosystems and hydrologic balance in northwestern Patagonia …

Following deglaciation, the long-term pattern of change in diatom communities and the
inferred history of the aquatic environment are affected by a hierarchy of environmental …

We describe recent trends in phytoplankton composition and abundance in the Laurentian
Great Lakes using synoptic spring (April) and summer (August) sampling events from 2001 …

We present the first evidence of biological change in all of the pelagic Laurentian Great
Lakes associated with recent climatic warming. We hypothesized that measured changes in …

Abstract The Yunnan Plateau of southwest China is strongly influenced by the Asian
monsoon and is a critical area in terms of determining its development and variability since …

While the sentinel nature of freshwater systems is now well recognized, widespread
integration of freshwater processes and patterns into our understanding of broader climate …
