Modeling lake ecosystem change within coupled human-natural systems to improve water resources management
Lake ecosystems are sentinels of change in a landscape, integrating upstream terrestrial and aquatic effects of climate and land use drivers. Climate and land use change is mediated by socio-cultural and economic processes, resulting in complex responses in lake ecosystems as a part of coupled …
