The Laurentian Great Lakes are vast, spatially heterogeneous, and changing. Across these
hydrologically linked basins, some conditions approach biogeochemical extremes for …

Excessive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loading is one of the greatest threats to aquatic
ecosystems in the Anthropocene, causing eutrophication of rivers, lakes, and marine …

Water quality of freshwater lakes within the Laurentian Great Lakes region is vulnerable to
degradation owing to multiple environmental stressors including climate change, alterations …

Coastal margins are important areas of materials flux that link terrestrial and marine
ecosystems. Consequently, climate-mediated changes to coastal terrestrial ecosystems and …

Water level fluctuation and modification in human activities induced by dam construction
have significantly affected the production and input of nutrients in the tributary watersheds. In …

Abstract Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (cHABs) are increasingly common in marine
and freshwater environments, including the Laurentian Great Lakes (LGL). Lake Superior …

Migratory fish can influence the stream ecosystems where they spawn by depositing large
amounts of energy rich eggs, carcasses, and excrement which can increase primary and …

Increasing concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) have been identified in many
freshwater systems over the last three decades. Studies have generally nominated …

Watershed fluxes of suspended sediment (SS), nutrients, in particular phosphorus (P), and
cyanobacteria may play a role in driving cyanobacterial blooms along the southwestern …

Tributary junctions in stream networks provide unique habitats within fluvial networks by
contributing differently sized sediment and organic materials, providing temperature refuge …
