The death of birds that led to Sultanpur National Park shutting down on January 10 may not have been caused by avian flu, but ecologists say they are symptomatic of a deeper malaise affecting the s
Warming-induced changes in lake thermal and mixing regimes present risks to water quality and ecosystem services provided by U.S. lakes and reservoirs. Modulation of responses by different physical and hydroclimatic settings are not well understood. We explore the potential effects of climate change on 27 lake “archetypes” representative of a range of lakes and reservoirs occurring throughout the U.S. Archetypes are based on different combinations of depth, surface area, and water clarity.
