Aquatic ecosystems are closely connected to their surrounding watersheds through the flux of water, nutrients, and organic carbon. Similarly, the flux of exogenous carbon from the landscape causes lakes to be substantial sources of greenhouse gases as well as sinks for organic carbon buried in the sediment. There are also important fluxes from inland waters to the terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the recognition of the importance of terrestrial-aquatic coupling, synchronization (persistent relatedness) of dynamics between these ecosystems has not been broadly investigated. Employing data reuse techniques to use data from Lake Multiscaled Geospatial and Temporal Database (LAGOS) and Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) databases, the PIs will apply new analysis tools to answer questions related to the synchrony of lakes and their surrounding watersheds. To quantify synchronization between terrestrial and aquatic habitats wavelet coherence will be used to measure the strength of synchronization between terrestrial and lake ecosystems, as well as phase relationships, describing time lags. Time lags are hypothesized to reflect mechanisms of synchrony and may be related to lake size, water residence time, trophic status, and watershed area. These factors are hypothesized to affect the degree of aquatic-terrestrial synchrony. Random forest regression will be applied to test this idea, leveraging the range of lake and watershed properties. Multiple regression for wavelet transforms will be used to determine the fraction of aquatic-terrestrial synchrony that can be explained by climate drivers and assess synchrony between terrestrial ecosystems and lake nutrient fluctuations for improved inference into non-climate mechanisms of synchrony.

水生生态系统通过水、营养物和有机碳的流动与其周围的流域密切相关。 同样，来自景观的外源碳通量使湖泊成为温室气体的重要来源，也是沉积物中埋藏的有机碳的汇。 还有从内陆沃茨到陆地生态系统的重要通量。尽管认识到陆地-水生耦合的重要性，这些生态系统之间的动态同步（持续相关性）还没有得到广泛的研究。 采用数据重用技术，使用湖泊多尺度地理空间和时间数据库（拉各斯）和全球湖泊生态观测网络（GLEON）数据库的数据，PI将应用新的分析工具来回答与湖泊及其周围流域同步相关的问题。为了量化陆地和水生生境之间的同步，将使用小波相干性来衡量陆地和湖泊生态系统之间的同步强度，以及描述时间滞后的相位关系。时间滞后的假设，以反映机制的同步性，并可能与湖泊的大小，水的停留时间，营养状态，流域面积。这些因素被假设为影响程度的水陆同步。随机森林回归将应用于测试这一想法，利用湖泊和流域属性的范围。小波变换的多元回归将用于确定气候驱动因素可以解释的水生-陆地同步的比例，并评估陆地生态系统与湖泊养分波动之间的同步，以改进对非气候同步机制的推断。这个项目是由国家科学基金会资助的。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
