Article Synopsis
- Lake ice is a crucial economic resource facing threats from climate change, with expected decreases in coverage and duration impacting local incomes from various activities.
- The study aimed to analyze the financial implications of lake ice loss, projecting a significant area decline and shorter ice duration by 2100, leading to economic losses over USD 2 billion for affected communities.
- Findings indicate that nations with the greatest anticipated ice loss also tend to have higher GDPs, greenhouse gas emissions, and reliance on freshwater, emphasizing the socio-economic risks posed by climate change.
With growing urbanization, it is becoming increasingly important to design cities in a manner that sustains and enhances biodiversity and ecosystem services. Native bees are critical pollinators that have experienced substantive declines over the past several decades. These declines have captured the attention of the public, particularly urbanites, prompting a large interest in protecting pollinators and their habitats in cities across North America and Europe.

However, chlorophyll concentrations in lakes are dependent on many interacting factors, including nutrient inputs, mixing regime, lake depth, climate, and anthropogenic activities within the watershed. Therefore, integrating a broad scale dataset of lake physical, chemical, and biological characteristics can help elucidate the response of freshwater ecosystems to global change.
