A future warmer climate will produce different effects in
different lakes. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have now been able
to explain that the effects of climate change depend on what organisms are
dominant in the lake. Algal blooms will increase, especially of toxic
blue-green algae.
The study in question has been carried out by a group of
researchers at the Department of Biology at Lund University. The research team
is specifically focusing on predictions regarding how our water resources will
be like in the future, in terms of drinking water, recreation, fishing and
biodiversity. They have now published findings on the impact of a warmer
climate on lakes in the journal Nature Climate Change.
