Lake ecosystems and the services that they provide to people are profoundly influenced by dissolved organic matter derived from terrestrial plant tissues. These terrestrial dissolved …
The Arctic is a water-rich region, with freshwater systems covering about 16% of the northern permafrost landscape. Permafrost thaw creates new freshwater ecosystems, while at the …
Increased concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), often labelled “browning”, is a current trend in northern, particularly boreal, freshwaters. The browning has been attributed …
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in lakes are changing globally, but little is known about potential ecosystem impacts. We evaluated the relationship between DOC and …
Water browning or brownification refers to increasing water color, often related to increasing dissolved organic matter (DOM) and carbon (DOC) content in freshwaters. Browning has …
Freshwaters of the boreal and temperate regions have experienced increased browning during the last decades. Browning, or brownification, is mostly driven by increased organic …
Climate change is likely to have large effects on the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Simulations indicate 2–4° C warming and 50–80% decrease in ice cover by 2100. Precipitation may …
Global change affects terrestrial loadings of colored dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nutrients to northern lakes. Still, little is known about how phytoplankton respond to changes …
Snow is a critically important and rapidly changing feature of the Arctic. However, snow- cover and snowpack conditions change through time pose challenges for measuring and …
