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.

TL;DR: While the authors did observe within-taxa negative effects for all four categories of responses, many of the effects summarized in the study were neutral, indicating that the effects of exposure to microplastics are highly variable across taxa.

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.

TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of differential spatiotemporally interactive effects of DO and temperature on relative fish habitat quality and quantity.

TL;DR: Overall, the horizontal compression of fish into less-hypoxic regions in the deep area of the central basin followed by vertical compression into the metalimnion as hypoxia developed further may have led to local reduction of mesozooplankton prey in these regions.
