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....

Sublinear density dependence has been widely reported empirically, but this is at odds with resource competition theory. This study uses a tightly controlled test in a microbial model system to reveal...

Mountain ecosystems are highly sensitive to climate variations. At fine spatial scales, high-elevation microclimates play a critical role in shaping biodiversity, hydrological processes, and ecosystem...

Salinization is a global environmental threat to inland and coastal aquatic ecosystems. It is defined as an increased concentration of ions in water (…

Experiments on entire ecosystems have contributed knowledge on effects of atmospheric CO2 and climate change, environmental pollutants, trophic cascades, response of fisheries to management, consumer ...

Anticipating how species distributions will shift with climate change is key for biodiversity conservation and management. Commonly, species’ range...

Mountain ecosystems are highly sensitive to climate variations. At fine spatial scales, high-elevation microclimates play a critical role in shaping biodiversity, hydrological processes, and ecosystem...

Agropastoral activities have impacted the habitable part of our planet—the “Critical Zone”—for thousands of years, triggering a major increase in s...

Drying continents, extreme drought, and groundwater depletion are shrinking water availability and increasing sea level rise.

Key measures of biodiversity were quantified and found to be affected by human pressures that shifted community composition and decreased local diversity across terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecos...

Abstract. Process-based lake temperature models, formulated on hydrodynamic principles, are commonly used to simulate water temperature, enabling one to test different scenarios and draw conclusions a...
