Interannual variation of 45 annually resolved time series of environmental, limnological, and
biotic parameters was quantified (1994–2009) in six lakes within 52 000 km2 to test the …

Understanding the patterns and drivers of primary productivity is a major goal of ecology, but
little is known about whether the primary productivities of different types of ecosystems …

We characterized patterns of nighttime ecosystem respiration (ER) in 23 globally‐distributed
lakes using free‐water changes in dissolved oxygen (DO). We considered three alternative …

Spatial patterns of coherent inter-annual dynamics between lakes occur within and between
lake districts at regional, continental, and even intercontinental scales. Climatic variability …

Hydrological regimes are key drivers of productivity and structure in freshwater ecosystems
but are increasingly impacted by human activity. Using 17 published food web models of 13 …

Density dependent interactions between higher and lower trophic levels were studied in two
consecutive whole lake experiments in a highly productive lake. In the first experiment, the …

Temporal coherence or synchrony measures the extent to which ecosystem change and
timing are similar among lakes and can be used to infer the relative importance of …

The degree to which a variable's dynamics are synchronized among a set of neighboring
lakes indicates the relative influence of regional climate variability. Furthermore, by …

Ecology has a rich history of studying ecosystem dynamics across time and space that has
been motivated by both practical management needs and the need to develop basic ideas …

Interactions between climatic and geographic conditions lead to variations and gradients in
hydrological, physical, chemical, and biological conditions in lakes. The annual cycle of …
