TL;DR: In this paper, recent trends in key eutrophication-related properties, assess their likely ecological impacts, and develop load response curves to guide revised hypoxia-based loading targets called for in the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

TL;DR: A retrospective synthesis of past and current nutrient inputs, impairments by planktonic and benthic HABs and hypoxia, modelling and Best Management Practices in the Lake Erie basin demonstrates that phosphorus reduction is of primary importance, but the effects of climate, nitrogen and other factors should also be considered in the context of adaptive management.

Changing Ecosystem Dynamics in the Laurentian Great Lakes: Bottom-Up and Top-Down Regulation
David B. Bunnell,Richard P. Barbiero,Stuart A. Ludsin,Charles P. Madenjian,Glenn J. Warren,David M. Dolan,Travis O. Brenden,Ruth D. Briland,Owen T. Gorman,Ji X. He,Thomas H. Johengen,Brian F. Lantry,Barry M. Lesht,Thomas F. Nalepa,Stephen C. Riley,Catherine M. Riseng,Ted Treska,Iyob Tsehaye,Maureen G. Walsh,David M. Warner,Brian C. Weidel +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative importance of top-down and bottom-up regulation of ecosystem structure is investigated in the Laurentian Great Lakes, where, since the early 1970s, nutrient inputs have been reduced, whereas toppredator biomass has increased.
Hypoxia-avoidance by planktivorous fish in Chesapeake Bay: Implications for food web interactions and fish recruitment
Stuart A. Ludsin,Xinsheng Zhang,Stephen B. Brandt,Michael R. Roman,William C. Boicourt,Doran M. Mason,Marco Costantini +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that hypoxia can disrupt the diel vertical migration behavior of planktivorous fishes in Chesapeake Bay during summer by reducing access to bottom waters and forcing fish to reside in well-oxygenated surface or nearshore waters.

Seasonal and interannual effects of hypoxia on fish habitat quality in central Lake Erie
Kristin K. Arend,Kristin K. Arend,Dmitry Beletsky,Joseph V. DePinto,Stuart A. Ludsin,James J. Roberts,James J. Roberts,Daniel K. Rucinski,Donald Scavia,David J. Schwab,Tomas O. Höök +10 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of differential spatiotemporally interactive effects of DO and temperature on relative fish habitat quality and quantity.
