Journal ArticleDOI
Lakes and reservoirs as regulators of carbon cycling and climate
Lars J. Tranvik,John A. Downing,James B. Cotner,Steven Loiselle,Robert G. Striegl,Thomas J. Ballatore,Peter J. Dillon,Kerri Finlay,Kenneth Fortino,Lesley B. Knoll,Pirkko Kortelainen,Tiitt Kutser,Soren H. H. Larsen,Isabelle Laurion,Dina M. Leech,S. Leigh McCallister,Diane M. McKnight,John M. Melack,Erin P. Overholt,Jason A. Porter,Yves T. Prairie,William H. Renwick,Fábio Roland,Bradford Sherman,David W. Schindler,Sebastian Sobek,Alain Tremblay,Michael J. Vanni,Antoine M. Verschoor,Eddie von Wachenfeldt,Gesa A. Weyhenmeyer +30 more
TL;DR: The role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of carbon in the inland waters is likely to change in response to climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a more comprehensive theory of zooplankton diel vertical migration: integrating ultraviolet radiation and water transparency into the biotic paradigm
Craig E. Williamson,Janet M. Fischer,Stephen M. Bollens,Erin P. Overholt,Joanne K. Breckenridge +4 more
TL;DR: This new transparency-regulator hypothesis provides a more versatile theoretical framework to explain variation in DVM across waters of differing transparency and enables clearer predictions of how the wide range of ongoing transparency-altering local, regional, and global environmental changes can be expected to influence DVM patterns in both inland and oceanic waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological consequences of long-term browning in lakes
Craig E. Williamson,Erin P. Overholt,Rachel M. Pilla,Taylor H. Leach,Jennifer A. Brentrup,Lesley B. Knoll,Elizabeth M. Mette,Robert E. Moeller +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that browning over a 27 year period in two lakes of differing transparency resulted in fundamental changes in vertical habitat gradients and food web structure, and that these responses were stronger in the more transparent lake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lakes as sensors in the landscape: Optical metrics as scalable sentinel responses to climate change
Craig E. Williamson,Jennifer A. Brentrup,Jing Zhang,William H. Renwick,Bruce R. Hargreaves,Lesley B. Knoll,Erin P. Overholt,Kevin C. Rose +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a suite of climate forcing optical indices (CFOI) from lakes across North America is found to respond to changes in air temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation at timescales ranging from a single storm event to seasonal changes to longerterm interdecadal trends with regression r2 values ranging from 0.73 to 0.89.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sentinel responses to droughts, wildfires, and floods: Effects of UV radiation on lakes and their ecosystem services
Craig E. Williamson,Erin P. Overholt,Jennifer A. Brentrup,Rachel M. Pilla,Taylor H. Leach,S. Geoffrey Schladow,Joseph D. Warren,Samuel S. Urmy,Steven Sadro,Sudeep Chandra,Patrick J. Neale +10 more
TL;DR: In the continental US, these events range from increases in the frequency and duration of droughts and wildfires in the West, to increasing precipitation and floods that are turning lakes and reservoirs brown in the East.
