"Each summer, more and more lake beaches are forced to close due to toxic algae blooms. While climate change is often blamed, new research suggests a more complex story: climate interacts with human activities like agriculture and urban runoff, which funnel excess nutrients into the water".

Open-access data analysis explores climate-driven algae changes in 24,000 US lakes

Each summer, more and more lake beaches are forced to close due to toxic algae blooms. While climate change is often blamed, new research suggests a more complex story: climate interacts with human activities like agriculture and urban runoff, which funnel excess nutrients into the water.

Understanding the connections between #FunctionalTraits and #EcosystemServices can help address #ClimateChange and #HumanActivities. So Cheng Zheng et al. used the #Response–effectTraitFramework to disentangle the effects of #EnvironmentalChange on the ecosystem services.
