Climate change and nutrient enrichment altering sedimentary diatom assemblages since pre-industrial time: evidence from Canada's most populated ecozone

Yuanyu Cheng et al.

Summary: Lakes worldwide are threatened by increasing environmental stressors, including climate change, nutrient-rich runoff, invasive species, and contamination. Long-term data and paleolimnology can help identify stressors and understand ecological changes. A study in Canada's Mixedwood Plains ecozone found that lakes have experienced ecological changes, with increasing planktic species and mesotrophic/eutrophic taxa in high-impact lakes.

A diatom-based paleolimnological re-assessment of previously polymictic Lake Opinicon, Ontario (Canada): crossing an ecological threshold in response to warming over the past 25 years

Kapillesh Balasubramaniam et al.

Summary: Long-term changes in diatom community composition in Lake Opinicon, Ontario, Canada over the past 200 years provide important insights into how multiple stressors and environmental changes have influenced the lake. Recent shifts in diatom assemblage composition can be attributed to increasing regional air temperatures and changes in lake thermal structure.

Environmental optima for common diatoms from Ontario lakes along gradients of lakewater pH, total phosphorus concentration, and depth

Matthew P. Duda et al.

Summary: This study compiled data from surface-sediment-diatom analyses from over 450 lakes in Ontario, Canada, to determine the ecological responses and environmental adaptability ranges of common diatom taxa. This research provides important references and basis for subsequent ecological assessments.

Lakes in Hot Water: The Impacts of a Changing Climate on Aquatic Ecosystems

R. Iestyn Woolway et al.

Summary: Climate change has significant impacts on aquatic ecosystems, including reduced ice cover, longer summer stratified seasons, and a cascade of ecological consequences. These consequences affect water temperature, mixing and water levels, dissolved oxygen, algal blooms, and cold-water fisheries' habitat. Climate change also affects freshwater supplies, water quality, biodiversity, and the ecosystem benefits they provide to society.

Eutrophication and climatic changes lead to unprecedented cyanobacterial blooms in a Canadian sub-Arctic landscape

Branaavan Sivarajah et al.

Summary: This study reports on recurring cyanobacterial blooms in a sub-Arctic lake in Yellowknife, Canada, and finds that multiple regional and local stressors have led to biological responses and post-2013 blooms were likely caused by nutrient enrichment and climate-mediated changes. Regional analysis also showed that reduced ice cover duration and longer growing seasons have increased primary production in lakes, making them vulnerable to cyanobacterial blooms in a warming world.

A 450-year record of environmental change from Castle Lake, California (USA), inferred from diatoms and organic geochemistry

Paula J. Noble et al.

Summary: The study analyzed a 39-cm sediment core from Castle Lake in California, USA, spanning about 450 years. The results showed that the lake was influenced by factors such as ice cover and nitrogen addition, with traces of events like the end of the Little Ice Age in the core. The study also found significant impacts of 20th century human activities on the lake ecosystem.
