The effect of nutrients on phytoplankton biomass in lakes continues to be a subject of debate
by aquatic scientists. However, determining whether or not chlorophyll a (CHL) is limited by …

Climate change can have strong effects on aquatic ecosystems, including disrupting nutrient
cycling and mediating processes that affect primary production. Past studies have been …

Nutrient criteria provide the numeric basis for lake eutrophication management. However,
there are two obstacles that can hinder the effective application of nutrient criteria, including …

Investigating the spatiotemporal dynamics of contaminants in surface water is crucial to
better understand how introduced chemicals are interacting with and potentially influencing …

Faced with limitations in data availability, funding, and time constraints, ecologists are often
tasked with making predictions beyond the range of their data. In ecological studies, it is not …

Excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in lakes can lead to eutrophication, hypoxia,
and algal blooms that may harm aquatic life and people. Some US states have established …

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) serves as an anti-greenhouse gas, plays multiple roles in aquatic
ecosystems, and contributes to the global sulfur cycle. The chlorophyll a (CHL, an indicator …

Although ecosystems respond to global change at regional to continental scales (ie,
macroscales), model predictions of ecosystem responses often rely on data from targeted …

Agricultural land use is typically associated with high stream nutrient concentrations and
increased nutrient loading to lakes. For lakes, evidence for these associations mostly comes …

Aquatic scientists require robust, accurate information about nutrient concentrations and
indicators of algal biomass in unsampled lakes in order to understand and predict the effects …
