Accurate quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes from aquatic systems is essential for constraining regional and global carbon budgets. Closed floating chambers are widely used to measure carbo...

The formation of submerged areas in Qinghai Lake, driven by rising water levels, has resulted in substantial changes in environmental characteristics,…

For over a century, ecologists have used the concept of trophic state (TS) to characterize an aquatic ecosystem's biological productivity. However, multiple TS classification schemes, each relying on....

Small lakes are suffocating as winters warm

The OLIGOTREND project has compiled a comprehensive global database on long-term water quality trends in lakes, rivers and estuaries. Spanning nearly four decades (1986–2023), this publicly avai...

Abstract. Reversed eutrophication, called oligotrophication, has been widely documented globally over the last 30 years in rivers, lakes, and estuaries. However, the absence of a comprehensive and har...

La ola de calor marina marca temperaturas de récord dos meses antes de lo habitual y afecta a la salud de quienes viven en las costas españolas

Forests cover 43% of German drinking water protection areas, making their vitality state critical for safeguarding drinking water quality German drinking water protection areas experienced a 4.8%...

Water clarity regulates irradiance penetration in aquatic environments, influencing physical and biological dynamics: irradiance penetration affects heat transfer in the water column and provides ene....

We synthesized data across global climate zones to show, for the first time, that global ditches and canals emit notable amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, at higher per area rates than pon...

Abstract. Reversed eutrophication, called oligotrophication, has widely been documented globally over the last 30 years in rivers, lakes, and estuaries. However, the absence of a comprehensive and har...

AbstractOur climate is changing, and we need to know why. This work aims to assess potential causes, such as freshwater sources of atmospheric CO2, not previously considered. The rate freshwater bacte...
