World Water Day: Earth’s freshwater reveals new species & faces mounting threats https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/03/world-water-day-earths-freshwater-reveals-new-species-faces-mounting-threats/
Water covers most of our planet, yet less than 3% of it is freshwater and most of it is contained in glaciers, making it not readily usable. Contamination and overuse threaten the valuable supplies of freshwater that humans and other animals, especially aquatic organisms, depend on to live. On World Water Day, a United Nations […]
#Freshwater #lakes,like #Flughafensee #Berlin, play a complex #role in #globalwarming. Their #sediments are important #carbonsinks. However, they also release #CO2/#methane through microorganism activities. Furthermore, #lakeswarmup faster than surrounding air. L. Huang et al.(2024) address this and predict #shifts in #aquaticspecies #distributions and rearrangements of #freshwaterhabitats.
