Geographic Characteristics and Meteorological Factors Dominate the Variation of Chlorophyll‐a in Lakes and Reservoirs With Higher TP Concentrations by Hanxiao Zhang, Shouliang Huo, Lian Feng, Chunzi Ma, Wenpan Li, Yong Liu, Fengchang Wu

“…Further, we discovered unexpected effects of geographical features (i.e., latitude, longitude, and slope) and meteorological factors (i.e., air temperature) on Chl‐a concentrations in the lakes and reservoirs with higher TP concentrations (>0.041 mg L−1 for lakes and >0.027 mg L−1 for reservoirs), through the use of multiple regression trees and structural equation model analysis. Our findings underscore the importance of (a) implementing flexible nutrient pollution control approaches based on nutrient ecoregions that consider geographical variations, and (b) developing mitigation and adaptation strategies to address the uncertain risks posed by climate change in the prevention and control of eutrophication in lakes and reservoirs.…”
