Microplastic research in marine environments has grown in popularity, though studies in freshwater ecosystems are limited. Still, microplastics are becoming more common in freshwater lakes and rivers as a result[…]
Eutrophication and subsequent harmful algal blooms in large freshwater lakes like Lake Erie occur annually as a result of nutrient pollution from runoff as well as nutrient loading facilitated by[…]
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are tied to multi-billion dollar losses and transforming aquatic systems. HABs threaten fisheries and ecosystems as sensitive organisms like mussels are threatened by the toxigenic blooms; they can also impact[…]
While lakes and rivers are known contributors of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the region’s carbon dynamics and budget, some have become carbon sinks as opposed to carbon sources. In most[…]
