TL;DR: In this paper, recent trends in key eutrophication-related properties, assess their likely ecological impacts, and develop load response curves to guide revised hypoxia-based loading targets called for in the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and interannual effects of hypoxia on fish habitat quality in central Lake Erie
Kristin K. Arend,Kristin K. Arend,Dmitry Beletsky,Joseph V. DePinto,Stuart A. Ludsin,James J. Roberts,James J. Roberts,Daniel K. Rucinski,Donald Scavia,David J. Schwab,Tomas O. Höök +10 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of differential spatiotemporally interactive effects of DO and temperature on relative fish habitat quality and quantity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple 1-dimensional, climate based dissolved oxygen model for the central basin of Lake Erie
Daniel K. Rucinski,Dmitry Beletsky,Joseph V. DePinto,David J. Schwab,Donald Scavia,Donald Scavia +5 more
TL;DR: A linked 1-dimensional thermal-dissolved oxygen model was developed and applied in the central basin of Lake Erie to quantify the relative contribution of meteorological forcings versus the decomposition of hypolimnetic organic carbon on dissolved oxygen as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Lake Erie's hypoxia response to nutrient loads and physical variability
TL;DR: A 1-dimensional, linked hydrodynamic and eutrophication model was developed and calibrated with 19 years of observations (1987-2005) for the summer stratification period in the central basin of Lake Erie, corroborated by comparison with observed process rates and areal hypoxic extents, and confirmed with observations from the 1960s and 1970s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling hypoxia in the central basin of Lake Erie under potential phosphorus load reduction scenarios
TL;DR: A 1-dimensional (vertical) linked hydrodynamic and eutrophication model that was previously calibrated and corroborated with 19 years (1987-2005) of observations in the central basin of Lake Erie, was applied as part of a group of models capable of forecasting ecosystem responses to altered phosphorus loads to Lake Erie.
