    A global database of lake surface temperatures collected by in situ and satellite methods from 1985–2009

    Global environmental change has influenced lake surface temperatures, a key driver of ecosystem structure and function. Recent studies have suggested significant warming of water temperatures in individual lak...

    Citizen science shows systematic changes in the temperature difference between air and inland waters with global warming

    Citizen science projects have a long history in ecological studies. The research usefulness of such projects is dependent on applying simple and standardized methods. Here, we conducted a citizen science proje...

    Widespread diminishing anthropogenic effects on calcium in freshwaters

    Calcium (Ca) is an essential element for almost all living organisms. Here, we examined global variation and controls of freshwater Ca concentrations, using 440 599 water samples from 43 184 inland water sites...

    Effects of climate and land-use changes on fish catches across lakes at a global scale

    Globally, our knowledge on lake fisheries is still limited despite their importance to food security and livelihoods. Here we show that fish catches can respond either positively or negatively to climate and l...

    Towards critical white ice conditions in lakes under global warming

    The quality of lake ice is of uppermost importance for ice safety and under-ice ecology, but its temporal and spatial variability is largely unknown. Here we conducted a coordinated lake ice quality sampling c...

    Plastic debris in lakes and reservoirs

    Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present a ...
