The accelerating rate of global change has focused attention on the cumulative impacts of
novel and extreme environmental changes (ie stressors), especially in marine ecosystems …

In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in
frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that …

While there is a general sense that lakes can act as sentinels of climate change, their
efficacy has not been thoroughly analyzed. We identified the key response variables within a …

Climate is a critical driver of many fish populations, assemblages, and aquatic communities.
However, direct observational studies of climate change impacts on North American inland …

Observations show that warming of the climate is unequivocal. The global warming
observed over the past 50 years is due primarily to human-induced emissions of heat …

Most of Earth's fresh surface water is consolidated in just a few of its largest lakes, and
because of their unique response to environmental conditions, lakes have been identified as …

A concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and
ponds). As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on …

Surface temperatures were extracted from nighttime thermal infrared imagery of 167 large
inland water bodies distributed worldwide beginning in 1985 for the months July through …

Limnology, and in particular the study of the aquatic carbon cycle initially focused on lakes
as isolated ecosystems. Later on, investigations followed of lakes as recipients. Current …

Climate warming is a ubiquitous stressor in freshwater ecosystems, yet its interactive effects
with other stressors are poorly understood. We address this knowledge gap by testing the …
