    Predicting lake dissolved organic carbon at a global scale

    The pool of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), is one of the main regulators of the ecology and biogeochemistry of inland water ecosystems, and an important loss term in the carbon budgets of land ecosystems. We ...

    Management Options to Improve Water Quality in Lake Peipsi: Insights from Large Scale Models and Remote Sensing

    Nutrient pollution causes frequent blooms of potentially harmful cyanobacteria in Lake Peipsi (Estonia/Russia). Although external nutrient loading has reduced since the 1990s, lake water quality has barely imp...
