PC44A:
Contemporary Evidence of Climate Change Effects on Lake and Estuarine Ecosystems Posters


Session ID#: 9305

Session Description:
Climate change may profoundly affect the dynamics of lakes and estuaries, by altering water inputs, evapotranspiration, nutrient cycling, sediment load, water temperature and a myriad of other physical, chemical and biological drivers. Climate change often is viewed in the context of future effects, yet lakes and estuaries already display changes caused by global warming relative to past conditions. This session will highlight these fundamentally important changes with case studies, space-for-time substitution analyses and global data analyses, as a way to gain a better understanding of the future trajectories of lake and estuary ecosystems.
