TL;DR: In this paper, an expert panel was convened to conduct a comprehensive aquatic ecological risk assessment based on several newly suggested procedures and included exposure and hazard subcomponents as well as the overall risk assessment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a newly developed flashiness index, which is based on mean daily flows, calculated by dividing the pathlength of flow oscillations for a time interval (i.e., the sum of the absolute values of day-to-day changes in mean daily flow) by total discharge during that time interval.

TL;DR: After a 20-year absence, severe cyanobacterial blooms have returned to Lake Erie in the last decade, in spite of negligible change in the annual load of total phosphorus (TP), according to medium-spectral Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) imagery.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present information on pesticide concentrations in Lake Erie tributaries draining agricultural watersheds, information distilled from data sets spanning nearly a decade and including up to 750 samples per tributary.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used two long-term (>10-year) datasets to test whether Lake Erie total phytoplankton biomass and cyanobacterial biomass changed over time and whether phyto-ankton abundance was influenced by soluble reactive phosphorus or nitrate loading from agriculturally-dominated tributaries (Maumee and Sandusky rivers).
