Increased Stream Temperature In Response To Extreme Precipitation Events

Aug. 3, 2018

Wilson , Colleen E 1 ; Gooseff , Michael N 2 1 INSTAAR 2 INSTAAR Aquatic ecosystem temperature regulation is essential to the survival of riverine fish species restricted to limited water temperature ranges. Dissolved oxygen levels, similarly necessary to fish health, are decreased by rising temperatures, as warmer waters...

The Effects Of Climate Change On An Alpine Lake System: A Mesocosm Experiment

Aug. 3, 2018

Olivier , Matthew R 1 1 INSTAAR Much like in the arctic, organisms inhabiting alpine ecosystems are living at the edge of their environmental tolerances and are thus sensitive to small changes in climate. Algal communities of alpine lakes are particularly useful as indicators of environmental change due to the...
