Climate change is one of the most severe threats to global lake ecosystems. Lake surface
conditions, such as ice cover, surface temperature, evaporation and water level, respond …

Reduced atmospheric acid deposition has given rise to recovery from acidification–defined
as increasing pH, acid neutralization capacity (ANC), or alkalinity in surface waters. Strong …

Lakes with a small footprint in non-glaciated lands, are immense sources of our planet's
biodiversity, which deliver undeniable benefits to human life and aquatic-terrestrial …

Surface water browning, the result of increasing concentrations of dissolved organic matter
(DOM), has been widespread in northern ecosystems in recent decades. Here, we assess a …

Brownification, caused by increasing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations is a
threat to aquatic ecosystems over large areas in Europe. The increasing concentrations of …

Increased algal blooms and loss of aquatic vegetation are critical environmental issues
associated with shallow lakes worldwide. The increase in organic matter (OM) in both …

The widespread browning of northern lakes has been associated with long-term increases
in dissolved organic carbon and color and should be linked to changes in surface water …

Turbidity plays an important role in aquatic predator–prey interactions. Increases in turbidity
are expected to reduce prey capture rates, especially for visually oriented predators …

The interacting effects of global changes—including increased temperature, altered
precipitation, reduced acidification and increased dissolved organic matter loads to lakes …

Peatlands are potent landscape sinks of natural and industrial toxic metals and metalloids
(TMMs) but the long-term sequestration of TMMs in peatlands is at increasing risk due to …
