The role of warm, dry summers and variation in snowpack on phytoplankton dynamics in mountain lakes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3132
Abstract: Abstract Climate change is altering biogeochemical, metabolic, and ecological functions in lakes across the globe. Historically, mountain lakes in temperate regions have been unproductive because of brief ice‐free seasons, a snowmelt‐driven hydrograph, cold temperatures, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.12099
Abstract: Water chemistry and its ecological implications have been extensively investigated in temperate high‐mountain lakes because of their role as sentinels of global change. However, few studies have considered the drivers of water chemistry in tropical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4298-9
Abstract: Resources and temperature play major roles in determining biological production in lake ecosystems. Lakes have been warming and ‘browning’ over recent decades due to climate change and increased loading of terrestrial organic matter. Conflicting hypotheses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-19177-z
Abstract: Pollution levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated in the El Sol and the La Luna alpine lakes. The lakes are located in central Mexico, in the crater of the Nevado… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ancene.2021.100294
Abstract: How Indigenous peoples and European settlers transformed terrestrial ecosystems in the Americas is well evidenced in the literature, but far less is known about how aquatic ecosystems changed. This study examined diatom records from sediment… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4060869
Abstract: Microplastics have become one of the most serious global threats to animal and human health. While their presence has been documented in all Earth water ecosystems, including remote mountain lakes, the observation that the abundance… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.777084
Abstract: In aquatic systems, microbes likely play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem processes, but much remains to be learned regarding microbial biogeography and ecology. The microbial ecology of mountain lakes is particularly understudied. We… read more here.

Mountain lakes of Mont Avic Natural Park: ecological features and conservation issues
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Limnology"
DOI: 10.4081/jlimnol.2019.1923
Abstract: Mountain lakes provide some fundamental ecosystem services (i.e., water supply for drinking and energy production) and have an enormous aesthetic and conservation value. Ecological knowledge on mountain lakes, however, is still scarce and limited to… read more here.
