The 2024 Lake Champlain State of the Lake and Ecosystems Indicators Report presents the most recent information on the conditions of Lake Champlain and its watershed. The report documents ongoing challenges and recent successes in management of the Lake’s water quality and ecosystem. Produced every three years, the report reflects the most current scientific data and resource management approaches. Four goals outlined in the Lake Champlain management plan: Opportunities for Action —Clean Water, Healthy Ecosystems, Thriving Communities, and an Informed and Involved Public—serve as the framework for much of the LCBP’s work, including the State of the Lake Report, which highlights the results of some of the management actions taken to achieve the four goals. --
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Science and Application Series, Volume 1. Lake Champlain in Transition: From Research Toward Restoration synthesizes research studies on the chemistry, biology, atmospherics, hydrodynamics, hydrology, land use, and management of Lake Champlain and its basin. Additional studies define the cultlural, social, and economic pressures on the lake's ecosystemm. The volume presents research results on lake sediment toxicity and its effect on benthic and aquatic species. Trophic levels were studied, from the impacts of nitrogen and phosphorus on phytoplankton to multiple "trophic cascades" and management implications. Phosphorus loading and subsequent eutrophication was examined by looking at comprehensive loading budgets, a whole-lake mass-balance model, and subsequent management schemes. This comprehensive research effort was undertaken to develop a management plan devoted to preserving the lake ecosystem, and the volume will interest environmental planners and managers as well as limnologists and hydrologists.
