Estimating nutrient thresholds for eutrophication management: Novel insights from understudied lake types
Eutrophication affects lake ecosystems and human welfare through its multiple impacts on ecosystem services. Nutrient targets based on pressure-response models for managing eutrophication are essential for defining ambitions and shaping remediation efforts. However, geographical differences in the pressure-response relationships are poorly understood, which hinders eutrophication management in regions where lake ecology is less well understood. In this study, we derive ecology-based nutrient targets for five major ecoregions of Europe: Northern, Central-Baltic, Alpine, Mediterranean and Eastern Continental.
