“…Most of the research conducted in the area focuses on the physical science aspect of the lakes rather than social science. However, policy-based research has gradually increased in the past decade (Johns & Teare, 2015). This is particularly apparent in the JGLR as social science and policy-based research in the GLB are gradually emerging (Johns & Teare, 2015).…”

<p>This paper explores differences in opinions in the 2021 International Joint Commission (IJC) Great Lakes survey. Indigenous responses are compared with the full survey responses. Lake-wide comparisons are made between Indigenous respondents residing within different basins.</p> <p>Responses from the Province of Ontario are also analyzed at the postal-code level where a regression kriging model is built to predict responses and evaluate relevant variables for questions related to drinking water access and trust in wastewater treatment. This paper finds there are differences pertaining to concerns, opinions on severity of impacts, potential participation for protecting the health of the lakes and demographic variables that were seen between Indigenous respondents and the full survey averages. There was also differences Lake-wide in how Indigenous respondents felt about the ways in which they engage with the Lakes being threatened, as well as species of cultural importance being threatened due to the state of the Lakes. Huron and Superior respondents reported less concern, whereas Michigan, Erie and Ontario respondents reported higher concern. In Ontario, there was a contrast in the North and South pertaining to drinking water access for both the respondent and the respondent’s community, as well as perceptions in effective wastewater treatment. The North reported more disagreement with fair access to clean drinking water for both the respondents and the community, and less trust in the community’s wastewater treatment despite low response rates compared to the South.</p>

On a razor’s edge : Maintaining lake ecosystem services and functions in an extreme world

General introduction11 climate-based pressures are capable of hampering lake functions, and subsequently thwarting the possibility of reaching the established WFD goal, has become a pertinent question. This is particularly of interest for regions such as Europe wherein many lakes have been exposed to sources of continuous degradation, such as extensive urbanization. Abiotic repercussions of extreme eventsChanges to lake chemical processes as a consequence of climatic pressures have the potential to instigate significant ecosystem disruptions (Calderó-Pascual et al., 2020). Between extreme precipitation and warming events there can be ramifications on, for example, lake nutrient loading, water coloring, turbidity and water temperature. The increased runoff from extreme precipitation (Jennings et al., 2012) can affect surface water systems in a number of ways and is hypothesized to vary with the amount of anthropogenic land use in the watershed (Stockwell et al., 2020). Nutrient influxes can occur due to the runoff-instigated soil mobilization within the catchment, leading to large, diffuse depositions into receiving water systems (Ockenden et al., 2016). For example, a single extreme precipitation event can account for a significant portion of the total annual nutrient loading (Zwart et al., 2017). Nutrient pulses can boost phytoplankton growth on a short-term temporal scale, especially in oligotrophic systems (Carrillo et al., 2017;Morabito et al., 2018). Runoff into a system can also cause brownification (Feuchtmayr et al., 2019), which can lead to a decrease in light availability and an increase in water temperature (Weyhenmeyer et al., 2004). Similarly, the turbidity of a system could be altered due to runoff, stimulating the re-suspension of in situ sediments (Kasprzak et al., 2017). In turn, this can instigate decreases in water transparency (Kasprzak et al., 2017) and in light availability (Stockwell et al., 2020). Contingent on the hydrological and catchment composition, extreme precipitation will also impact the lake residence time of water and thereby nutrients and phytoplankton in a water system. A large influx of water into the system, for instance, can dilute the concentrations of nutrients within the lake (Cobbaert et al., 2014). Further, surface water bodies with outlets can experience a flushing effect with outflowing waters carrying nutrients from the system (Ho & Michalak, 2020). In such cases, an extreme precipitation event could assist with improvement of the overall water quality.Warming, such as through heatwaves, can influence chemical processes through different routes. These events can have a direct and noticeable impact on water temperature, which in turn can strengthen stratification within the water columns (Chen et al., 2019). Nutrients stored in sediments can also become bioavailable at higher water temperatures. This can occur when a stabilized water column promotes the release of nutrients from the substrate, which can then be redistributed in the lake from subsequent mixing of the ...
