If you love plants and water, you’re in for a treat on this Valentine's day! My #PhD paper with @Water_Rox is out in @GlobalChangeBio! We looked at global trends and drivers of submerged #macrophyte quantities in lakes. @GRIL_Limnologie @NSERC_CRSNG doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16619

What do we know about change in the seasonal timing of #macrophytes and #periphyton? Not much, but they do respond to temperature and there might be consequence on ecosystem functioning. More long-term monitoring is needed! Just out in #ASLO_Letters doi.org/10.1002/lol2.10381

Mapping the health of Canada's lakes

UdeM biologists produce a first-ever social and ecological profile - in multicoloured map form - of over 600 of the country's lakes, identifying which need to be better preserved.

Despite some advances, men still dominate science but one academic is working hard to get women and peers of colour the recognition they deserve

We’re excited to (belatedly) announce our recent paper on carbon burial in artificial ponds! We studied C burial in 22 of Cornell’s experimental ponds (57 yrs old) and compared rates to past management strategies. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley… (1/4)

High rates of carbon burial linked to autochthonous production in artificial ponds

Ponds are globally abundant and important to the global carbon cycle. Although ponds have large greenhouse gas emissions, they also sequester carbon in their sediments. Here, we studied organic...

Wetlands are known for the ecosystem services they provide. But do all wetland types offer the same services? How different are they? Should we consider it in our conservation/restoration planning? We answered these questions in our recent article: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
