TL;DR: The concept of lakes and reservoirs as sentinels, integrators, and regulators of climate change is discussed in this article. But the authors do not discuss how to assess such massive changes over multiple scales of space and time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the substantial literature describing tDOM effects on lakes and ongoing changes in tDOM inputs, and identify and provide examples of four major challenges that limit predictions about the implications of tDOM change for lakes, as follows: First, it is currently difficult to forecast future t DOM inputs for particular lakes or lake regions, and our holistic understanding of those effects is still rudimentary.

TL;DR: Nitrogen (N) stable isotope ratios in dated sediments from 25 remote Northern Hemisphere lakes show a coherent signal of an isotopically distinct source of N to ecosystems beginning in 1895 ± 10 years (±1 standard deviation).

TL;DR: Lakes and reservoirs provide key insights into the effects and mechanisms of climate change and are an important source of data for climate change research.

TL;DR: The results indicate that in these oligotrophic alpine lakes, N enrichment is driving their recent increase, and these taxa are abundant when P availability is very low and the supply of N and Si are moderate to high.
