Freshwater browning is stunting fish growth of some species, shrinking populations of others and changing the composition of fish communities, 海角社区-led research suggests. 鈥淏rowning鈥� refers to freshwater bodies turning tea-coloured, a phenomenon driven by higher levels of dissolved organic matter and/or higher levels of iron in the water. Causes include changes in land use and climate, and reduced acid precipitation.
The findings indicate that changes in land use and climate are affecting biodiversity and how ecosystems function, with implications for fisheries management.

Thanks to their use of a unique methodology, a 海角社区-led research team has obtained new insights into how boulders affect snow melt in mountainous northern environments, with implications for local water resources.听听
The team found that snow near boulders melts faster, not only because rocks radiate heat, but also due to subtle processes that reshape the snow鈥檚 surface. This information will help researchers understand how small-scale processes affect downstream water resources.听
