Researchers mapped more than 100 lakes across 1,000 kilometres of Brazil and Uruguay; the network could detect ecosystem stress before irreversible damage
North AmericaScienceModerate confidence — 66/100
Published in the journal One Ecosystem, the research provides the first systematic assessment of the Southern American Coastal Shallow Subtropical LakesWhat if lakes could warn us about an environmental disaster?
These freshwater systems may be giving off subtle biological signals long before the fish start dying off, the algae bloom on the water, or the pollution becomes hazardous.
Well, the difficulty has always been how to read them.
