TL;DR: It is shown that long-term trends in agricultural practices are consistent with increasing phosphorus loading to the western basin of the lake, and that these trends, coupled with meteorological conditions in spring 2011, produced record-breaking nutrient loads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological risk assessment of atrazine in North American surface waters.
Keith R. Solomon,David B. Baker,R. Peter Richards,Kenneth R. Dixon,Stephen J. Klaine,Thomas W. La Point,Ronald J. Kendall,Carol P. Weisskopf,Jeffrey M. Giddings,John P. Giesy,Lenwood W. Hall,W. Marty Williams +11 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new flashiness index: characteristics and applications to midwestern rivers and streams
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing and addressing the re-eutrophication of Lake Erie: Central basin hypoxia

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
The re-eutrophication of Lake Erie: Harmful algal blooms and hypoxia.

TL;DR: A retrospective synthesis of past and current nutrient inputs, impairments by planktonic and benthic HABs and hypoxia, modelling and Best Management Practices in the Lake Erie basin demonstrates that phosphorus reduction is of primary importance, but the effects of climate, nitrogen and other factors should also be considered in the context of adaptive management.
