New study led by @ellie-mackay.bsky.social shows how organic nutrient fractions can stimulate the growth of algae in rivers, and explores the predictability of this effect across the UK. share.google/qKtTDE0BMOF1... 🧪🦠🏞

Happy #WorldLakeDay from the English Lake District. Home to some pretty special lakes and some really great monitoring work #CumbrianLakesMonitoring #UKCEH_AquaEco

Inaugural United Nations World Lake Day — 27 August 2025 Celebrate the critical role of lakes, reservoirs, and ponds in water security, flood mitigation, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. #WorldLakeDay #Lakes #Freshwater #Limnology

In recognition of #WorldLakeDay, here is some beautiful #SciArt from "The fresh-water fishes of China" (1943), digitised for #BHLib by @amnh.org. 🐠 🐡 🐟⁣ #ILoveBHL 🧪 ➡️ www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/12398729

Lakes are essential to life. They hold most of the world’s freshwater, but are degrading faster than any other ecosystem. On today’s first-ever #WorldLakeDay, check the #GenerationRestoration Lakes Portal & learn how you can help bring lakes back to life: www.decadeonrestoration.org/take-action-...

I think we should get a Daphnia costume @thackers.bsky.social...

New paper: using multiple metrics to quantify the connectivity of lakes to each other, rivers & ponds. The correlations among these metrics can be used to guide how connectivity is included in studies of freshwater biodiversity. link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🧪 #UKCEH_AquaEco @ukceh.bsky.social

It's #ShowYourStripes day &, inspired by @edhawkins.org, here are climate stripes for surface water temperatures in 4 lake basins in the English Lake District These plots, by @ellie-mackay.bsky.social, clearly show long-term warming of these iconic lakes. #lakes #ClimateChange @ukceh.bsky.social
