Description
Liangliang Dai and six co-authors track how tiny lake plants shifted when Caohai Lake in China flipped from clear to murky water. The high plateau lake lost its bed plants after 2020 and grew rich in nutrients. Their 2026 study set water and plant samples from July 2018 beside samples from July 2023.
Nutrient levels and murk rose sharply between the two rounds, while oxygen and acid balance fell. Plant cell counts near quadrupled, and one blue-green group stayed on top in both rounds. The mix of plant types sorted by job changed a great deal. Stats tied the new mix to ammonia, murk, and nutrient loads. The authors blame rich nutrient inflow for the flip, and urge tight control of it to heal the lake.
