Winter conditions are rapidly changing in temperate ecosystems, particularly for those that
experience periods of snow and ice cover. Relatively little is known of winter ecology in …

Algae, the dominant primary producers in many aquatic ecosystems, are critical to global
biogeochemical cycling, and changes in their abundance and composition can cascade …

Seasonal variations of environmental factors generally result in considerable changes in
microbiomes, yet we still lack a clear understanding of how microbial communities maintain …

Deforestation is currently a widespread phenomenon and a growing environmental concern
in the era of rapid climate change. In temperate regions, it is challenging to quantify the …

Many arid and semiarid regions are likely to become warmer and drier by the end of this
century, due to human-induced climate change. We hypothesize that a reduction in water …

Marine plankton are faced with novel challenges associated with environmental changes
such as ocean acidification, warming, and eutrophication. However, data on the effects of …

Cyanobacterial blooms have serious adverse effects on human and environmental health. In
Latin America, one of the main world's freshwater reserves, information on this phenomenon …

Eutrophication (nutrient over-enrichment) is the primary worldwide water quality issue often
leading to nuisance cyanobacterial blooms. Climate change is predicted to cause further …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) can cause dramatic changes to ecologically, culturally, and
economically important coastal ecosystems. To date, MHW studies have focused on …

Shallow lakes are numerous in all climate zones, but our knowledge about their dissolved
carbon dioxide (CO 2) response to future climate change and nutrient enrichment is rather …
