Storm impacts on phytoplankton community dynamics in lakes. [PDF]
Our understanding of ecosystem‐scale responses to storm events is fragmented, and terminological variability in defining a “storm” hinders resolution of generalizable impacts. We provide a comprehensive synthesis of the interactions between physical properties and biological responses in lakes that demonstrates the context‐dependency of storm impacts ...

Abstract Many coastal states throughout the USA have observed negative effects in marine and estuarine environments caused by cyanotoxins produced in inland waterbodies that were transported downstream or produced in the estuaries. Estuaries and other downstream receiving waters now face the dual risk of impacts from harmful algal blooms (HABs) that ...

The Sian Ka'an Wetlands of SE Mexico form a vast freshwater carbonate factory located on the Yucatán Platform, directly juxtaposed with the shallow marine carbonate factory of the MesoAmerican Reef offshore. Following deep karstification during the late Pleistocene sea level low stand, Holocene transgression progressively flooded the Sian Ka'an ...

Climate change and the aquatic continuum: A cyanobacterial comeback story
Abstract Billions of years ago, the Earth's waters were dominated by cyanobacteria. These microbes amassed to such formidable numbers, they ushered in a new era—starting with the Great Oxidation Event—fuelled by oxygenic photosynthesis. Throughout the following eon, cyanobacteria ceded portions of their global aerobic power to new photoautotrophs with ...

Clean Water Act at 50: Celebrating the golden anniversary of the blue policy
Abstract Both the U.S. Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Journal of Environmental Quality (JEQ) trace back to 1972. The journal has a strong history of publishing science in support of the CWA, from basic science used to develop best management practices to address water quality problems to special sections on hot issues of the day and publishing long‐term

A Place at the Well: The Imperative for Farmer Inclusion in Water Conservation Policy Design
Abstract Achieving cleaner water for rural and suburban communities in a sustainable way requires approaches tailored to the unique socioeconomic, ecological, and historic contexts embedded in a particular community and place. Water quality trading (WQT) is a payment for ecosystem services style policy that is currently popular across North America as ...

Nutrient control in water bodies: A systems approach
Abstract Nutrient pollution is considered a wicked problem because of its many significant economic, social, and environmental impacts that are caused by multiple pollutants originating from a variety of sources and pathways that exist across different temporal and spatial scales.

The Latitudes, Attitudes, and Platitudes of Watershed Phosphorus Management in North America
Phosphorus (P) plays a crucial role in agriculture as a primary fertilizer nutrient—and as a cause of the eutrophication of surface waters. Despite decades of efforts to keep P on agricultural fields and reduce losses to waterways, frequent algal blooms persist, triggering not only ecological disruption but also economic, social, and political ...

ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...
