Melting Glaciers a Leading Cause of High Nitrate Concentrations in High-Elevation Lakes in the U.S. Rockies – Saros

Melting glaciers in the American West are releasing chemicals that cause ecosystem changes in alpine lakes, including large quantities of nitrogen that reduces biodiversity, according to an international research team led by University of Maine paleoecologist Jasmine Saros. The study, funded by a $509,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, determined that glaciers in alpine read more Melting Glaciers a Leading Cause of High Nitrate Concentrations in High-Elevation Lakes in the U.S. Rockies – Saros
