Recently, the internationally renowned academic journal "Nature" recently published an environmental research paper. Researchers found that the oxygen content of temperate lakes has experienced a large-scale and long-term decline.
This downward trend may threaten vital lake ecosystems.
The paper said that this trend calculated for nearly 400 lakes over a period of 80 years may be related to climate warming and decreased water transparency.
The corresponding author of the paper, Kevin Rose of Rensselaer Polytechnic University and his collaborators compiled the temperature of 393 temperate lakes (mostly located in Europe and the United States) collected by governments, universities, and non-profit organizations from 1941 to 2017 And dissolved oxygen measurement data.
The author of the paper pointed out that human activities and climate warming are expected to continue to cause further loss of dissolved oxygen in lakes, and continuous and strict lake system management measures must be taken to deal with these effects.
