Freshwater ecosystems are among the most valuable natural resources, and yet are challenged globally by multiple stressors including excess nutrient loading and climate change. Through a novel combination of field experiments and syntheses of large datasets, the proposed program will quantify how aquatic communities have responded to multiple stressors over different time scales and identify factors that make freshwater ecosystems susceptible to abrupt changes in condition. Overall, findings will elucidate how freshwater systems have responded to the accelerating rates of change introduced by human activities over the past two centuries and inform conservation priorities and actions. *

淡水生态系统是最宝贵的自然资源之一，但在全球范围内受到多种压力因素的挑战，包括过度的营养负荷和气候变化。 通过野外实验和大型数据集合成的新组合，拟议的计划将量化水生群落如何在不同的时间尺度上对多种压力源做出反应，并确定使淡水生态系统容易受到条件突变影响的因素。 总体而言，研究结果将阐明淡水系统如何应对过去两个世纪人类活动带来的加速变化，并为保护优先事项和行动提供信息。 *
