The effects of winter environmental conditions on lake ecology can be highly variable. Ice and overlying snow isolate the water below, impeding exchange of materials among water, atmosphere, and the ...

Temperature is a master variable in aquatic ecosystems. Despite its importance for ecosystem function, our capacity to measure temperature is often limited to focal systems with intensive in situ mea...

Using a simpler predator-prey pairing of a semi-sessile rotifer and motile algae, the Predator-Prey Encounter Detection (PrED) model aims to streamline and semi-automate video analysis of species int...

Lakes around the world are warming in step with rising air temperatures, a trend that has been accelerating over the past decade. This warming can lead to longer periods of thermal stratification— whe...

We speak with Arctic chapter editors Twila Moon, Matthew Druckenmiller, and Rick Thoman about the State of the Climate in 2025, including record-low sea ice and the impacts of ex-typhoon Halong.

According to the 36th and latest iteration of the annual State of the Climate report published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS), greenhouse gas concentrations, global sea ...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial (ZIG) dataset is a global, harmonized collection of freshwater zooplankton records paired with water chemistry data, built through a multi‑year community effor...

Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide...

There is no life without phosphorus. It’s in your bones. It’s in your DNA. As a key fertilizer ingredient, phosphorus is essential for global food security.

For over 40 years, the U.S. Forest Service has been monitoring high-altitude mountain lakes in Colorado to track the environmental impacts of human-caused pollutants and climate changes in delicate…
