Advancing Estuarine Science and Management Through Long‐Term Research and Monitoring in the U.S. National Estuarine Research Reserve System Open
Long‐term research and monitoring programs are critical to our understanding of ecosystem processes. Although short‐term studies are one effective method for scientific investigations, they cannot elucidate the role of medium to long‐term …

Abrupt changes in algal biomass of thousands of US lakes are related to climate and are more likely in low-disturbance watersheds Open
Climate change is predicted to intensify lake algal blooms globally and result in regime shifts. However, observed increases in algal biomass do not consistently correlate with air temperature or precipitation, and evidence is lacking for …

A continuous classification of the 476,697 lakes of the conterminous <span>US</span> based on geographic archetypes Open
A variety of classification approaches are used to facilitate understanding, prediction, monitoring, and the management of lakes. However, broad‐scale applicability of current approaches is limited by either the need for in situ lake data,…

Blooms also like it cold Open
Cyanobacterial blooms have substantial direct and indirect negative impacts on freshwater ecosystems including releasing toxins, blocking light needed by other organisms, and depleting oxygen. There is growing concern over the potential fo…

The role of organic nutrients in structuring freshwater phytoplankton communities in a rapidly changing world Open
Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are critical macroelements in freshwater systems. Historically, researchers and managers have focused on inorganic forms, based on the premise that the organic pool was not available for direct uptake by ph…

Cyanobacterial blooms in oligotrophic lakes: Shifting the high‐nutrient paradigm Open
Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms have become ubiquitous, posing major threats to ecological and public health. Decades of research have focused on understanding drivers of these blooms with a primary focus on eutrophic systems; however, cy…

Fluvial seeding of cyanobacterial blooms in oligotrophic Lake Superior Open
Lake Superior has recently begun experiencing cyanobacterial blooms comprised of Dolichospermum lemmermannii near the Apostle Islands and along the southern shore of the western arm. Little is known about the origin of these blooms. Experi…

A first assessment of cyanobacterial blooms in oligotrophic Lake Superior Open
Lake Superior is often described as the most pristine of the Laurentian Great Lakes, but in the past decade Dolichospermum blooms have been observed. Land use in the adjacent watershed has not changed appreciably during this time, but the …

ASSESSING THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF INLAND LAKES IN MICHIGAN Open
The aim of this study was to validate and apply a lake model for predicting the susceptibility of small inland lakes in Michigan to changes in thermal regime and increased cyanobacteria growth as a result of future climate conditions. The …
