We found that invasive crayfish (introduced at the beginning of the century) are deteriorating the coastal environment of the clearest lake in the world (Crater Lake, Oregon, USA). An environmental tragedy, which demonstrates the importance of evaluating environmental impacts before making changes to ecosystems.

Given the practical and theoretical relevance that stakeholders’ participation has achieved in the frame of new approaches for watershed management, this paper aims to identify the possibility of implementing a collaborative strategy in the particular case of the Sauce Grande River Basin (SGRB), Argentina.

We propose that the long-term history of the ecosystem provides valuable information that augments and strengthens an ES risk assessment and that it should be considered routinely when undertaking risk assessments. We adjusted a standard ecosystem-based risk management (EBRM) protocol to include paleoenvironmental data, and tested the modified approach on two coastal lagoons in South America

We analyzed the interannual fluctuation in the surface area of Cronómetro Lake (January 2000 to January 2021). We also studied the periods of humidity and drought and the anthropogenic activities in the lake basin to understand their impact on water availability within the basin.

We used submerged high frequency sensors that measure light, temperature, and dissolved oxygen and wind data to calculate GPP and R in both lake habitats. In addition, we carry out nutrient enrichment bioassays with nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate to determine which nutrient(s) limit algal growth in each lake habitat

Abstract: More than 13,000 shallow lakes reside today in the Pampean Region of Argentina. Besides their importance for the agricultural and economic sustainability of this region, there is limited knowledge about their origin and evolution and, in particular, about their fate as they face climate change. In this work, we reconstruct the origin and history four shallow Pampeman lakes, namely Puan, Los Chilenos, Sauce Grande, and La Salada based on process geomorphology being them examples of a large percentage of the shallow lakes present in the region. Results indicate that landscape evolution and basin formation in the Pampean Region have been strongly controlled by neotectonism in the Late Pleistocene, and Holocene climate variability. The basins where the lakes are located were formed by deflation in the case of Puan and La Salada, by fluvial, tectonic and eolian processes in Los Chilenos, and by fluvial, eolian, and coastal processes in Sauce Grande. After 1000 yr before present, these basins were filled with water resulting from climate amelioration. This study indicates that the hydrology of the Pampean Region is highly sensitive to changes in precipitation and wind erosion, and that future scenarios of increased erosion by wind and water can modify the hydrologic connectivity and, therefore, the resilience of the lakes located in this region.
