“…Long-term monitoring of WLE is fundamental to the continual assessment of water quality changes in response to both stressors and water quality management efforts (Hartig et al, 2009(Hartig et al, , 2021. The GLERL/CIGLR monitoring data has been used by numerous researchers to develop and assess models (Rowe et al, 2016;Weiskerger et al, 2018;Fang et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2020;Qian et al, 2021;Wang and Boegman, 2021;Hellweger et al, 2022;Maguire et al, 2022), to calibrate remote sensing algorithms (Sayers et al, 2016(Sayers et al, , 2019Avouris and Ortiz, 2019;Bosse et al, 2019;Vander Woude et al, 2019;Pirasteh et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2022), and to elucidate ecological mechanisms and complement experimental data (Cory et al, 2016;Reavie et al, 2016;Berry et al, 2017;Steffen et al, 2017;Kharbush et al, 2019Kharbush et al, , 2023Newell et al, 2019;Den Uyl et al, 2021;Smith et al, 2021Smith et al, , 2022Hoffman et al, 2022;Marino et al, 2022;Yancey et al, 2022a, b).…”
