Our planet is being subjected to unprecedented climate change, with far-reaching social and
ecological repercussions. Below the waterline, aquatic ecosystems are being affected by …

BACKGROUND Climate change impacts have now been documented across every
ecosystem on Earth, despite an average warming of only~ 1° C so far. Here, we describe the …

Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

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 …

Aquatic ecosystems are constantly changing due to natural and anthropogenic stressors.
When dealing with such 'moving targets', one of the greatest challenges faced by scientists …

Using a whole-watershed approach and a combination of historical, contemporary, modeled
and paleolimnological datasets, we show that the High Arctic's largest lake by volume (Lake …

Arctic regions support a wide variety of freshwater ecosystems. These naturally oligotrophic
and cold‐water streams, rivers, ponds and lakes are currently being impacted by a diverse …

Anthropogenic aerosol increases over the past few decades have weakened the Asian
summer monsoon,, with potentially far-reaching socio-economic and ecological …

Abstract Lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) have been subject to multiple
environmental pressures from rapid climate change and intensified human activity in recent …

Stratified structures are basic physical characteristics of lakes and reservoirs, which play
important roles in vertical convection and mixing processes. Global warming is expected to …
