Identifying critical thresholds to prioritise lake restoration

该项目旨在对湖泊水质进行全球评估，并对湖泊进行优先修复。本项目希望通过应用地理空间框架和模型对营养物负荷和湖内营养状态的变化趋势有新的认识。这些信息将有助于在景观尺度上量化恢复湖泊所需行动的规模。预期的结果是一个连接流域水文、营养负荷和湖泊属性的全球地图集。该项目的预期成果包括改进预测土地利用和气候变化对全球湖泊影响的方法，并向水资源管理者提出投资于整个景观湖泊恢复的建议。

This project aims to conduct a global assessment of lake water quality and prioritise lakes for restoration. This project expects to generate new understanding of trends in lake condition based on application of geospatial frameworks and models for nutrient loads and in-lake trophic state. This information will help to quantify the magnitude of actions required to restore lakes at landscape scale. The intended outcome is a global atlas linking catchment hydrology, nutrient loads and lake attributes. Expected outcomes of this project include improved methods to predict effects of land use and climate change on lakes across the globe, and recommendations to water resource managers on investing in the restoration of lakes across the landscape.
