HUMAN ALTERATION OF THE GLOBAL NITROGEN CYCLE: SOURCES AND CONSEQUENCES
- P. Vitousek, J. Aber, +5 authors D. Tilman
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 1997
Nitrogen is a key element controlling the species composition, diversity, dynamics, and functioning of many terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Many of the original plant species living… Expand
Lakes and reservoirs as regulators of carbon cycling and climate
- L. Tranvik, J. Downing, +28 authors G. Weyhenmeyer
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2009
We explore the role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of carbon in the inland… Expand

Eutrophication of lakes cannot be controlled by reducing nitrogen input: Results of a 37-year whole-ecosystem experiment
- D. Schindler, R. Hecky, +6 authors S. E. Kasian
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 12 August 2008
Lake 227, a small lake in the Precambrian Shield at the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA), has been fertilized for 37 years with constant annual inputs of phosphorus and decreasing inputs of nitrogen to… Expand
An impending water crisis in Canada's western prairie provinces.
- D. Schindler, W. F. Donahue
- Geography, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 9 May 2006
Canada is usually considered to be a country with abundant freshwater, but in its western prairie provinces (WPP), an area 1/5 the size of Europe, freshwater is scarce. European settlement of the WPP… Expand
POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGES ON AQUATIC SYSTEMS: LAURENTIAN GREAT LAKES AND PRECAMBRIAN SHIELD REGION
- J. Magnuson, K. Webster, +9 authors F. Quinn
- Geology

The region studied includes the Laurentian Great Lakes and a diversity of smaller glacial lakes, streams and wetlands south of permanent permafrost and towards the southern extent of Wisconsin… Expand
Oil sands development contributes polycyclic aromatic compounds to the Athabasca River and its tributaries
- Erin N. Kelly, J. Short, +4 authors B. L. Fortin
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 29 December 2009
For over a decade, the contribution of oil sands mining and processing to the pollution of the Athabasca River has been controversial. We show that the oil sands development is a greater source of… Expand
The effects of climatic warming on the properties of boreal lakes and streams at the Experimental Lakes Area, northwestern Ontario
- D. Schindler, S. Bayley, +5 authors M. Stainton
- Environmental Science
- 1 July 1996
A period of prolonged warmer, drier-than-normal weather in northwestern Ontario during the 1970s and 1980s resulted in severe forest fires that caused dramatic changes to lake and stream catchments.… Expand
Oil sands development contributes elements toxic at low concentrations to the Athabasca River and its tributaries
- Erin N. Kelly, D. Schindler, P. Hodson, J. Short, Roseanna Radmanovich, C. Nielsen
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 30 August 2010

The cumulative effects of climate warming and other human stresses on Canadian freshwaters in the new millennium
- D. Schindler
- Environmental Science
- 2001
Climate warming will adversely affect Canadian water quality and water quantity. The magnitude and timing of river flows and lake levels and water renewal times will change. In many regions, wetlands… Expand
