Collection of research summaries from expert lake scientists around the world.
Cyanobacterial dynamics are a popular research topic for limnologists focused on understanding the patterns and behaviors of harmful algal blooms. These blooms can have long-lasting impacts on aquatic environments, such[…]
A 2023 study published in Limnology and Oceanography examined salt export along a river–lake continuum to investigate the anthropogenic drivers, temporal dynamics and modulators of freshwater salinization.
Depending on the lake and the plankton that dominate the system, winter could mean significant declines in productivity and increases in hypoxic conditions, while others may experience higher rates of[…]
Seasonal hypoxia in northern hemisphere lakes is common during the winter as sources of dissolved oxygen like plant and algae photosynthesis and diffusion from the atmosphere become less impactful on[…]
