Organic pollution in the lake water bodies poses a serious threat to the stability of aquatic ecosystems and human health. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a key component of organic pollution. The analysis of its sources is crucial for pollution co...
Rivers regulate land-ocean total phosphorus (TP) fluxes critical to ecosystem health and food security, yet global dynamics remain poorly understood due to limited observations. Here, we develop a machine learning framework integrating multimodal dat...
Algal blooms, characterized by the excessive proliferation of microalgae in a freshwater or marine ecosystem, have evolved into a global ecological, health and economic crisis, which is often accompanied by the release of toxins and the damage of the...
Cyanobacterial blooms in lakes are a complex and challenging environmental issue worldwide. However, many existing studies on cyanobacterial bloom prediction were constrained by limited data availability, which poses significant challenges to the dev...
Shallow lakes worldwide face escalating pressures from eutrophication and climate change, yet comprehensive monitoring of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) spatiotemporal dynamics remains challenging due to the high costs and logistical constraints of traditiona...
Marine phytoplankton are crucial to oceanic ecosystems, yet trends in their activity, monitored through chlorophyll a, remain uncertain due to observational limitations. We generated an ocean chlorophyll a dataset (2001 to 2023) across low to mid-lat...
The interplay between acidification and nitrification in estuarine systems could have profound effects on coastal biogeochemistry and ecosystem health. However, the lack of integrated field research risks oversimplifying their relationships in comple...
Identifying key species responsible for excessive growth of algae communities, as reflected by the floating algae index (FAI), is crucial for developing targeted management strategies to control algal blooms (ABs). However, current approaches for alg...
This study investigates the long-term influence of climate change on the spatiotemporal dynamics of harmful algal blooms in lakes larger than 10 km² across the Yangtze River Basin from 1985 to 2022. Using Landsat satellite imagery, we quantified bloo...
Greenhouse gas emissions and water quality decline are two major issues currently affecting lakes worldwide. Determining how to control both greenhouse gas emissions and water quality decline is a long-term challenge. We compiled data on the annual a...
