Abstract

Climate change's impact on lake color is a complex and great phenomenon that significantly influences the health and dynamics of water ecosystems. This review delves into the intricate relationship between climate change and changes in lake color, uncovering the underlying mechanisms driving these transformations and their broader implications. Factors associated with global warming, such as increasing temperatures, precipitation patterns, and shifting weather dynamics, directly or indirectly affect variables like nutrient input, algal bloom growth, and water clarity. Consequently, these factors ultimately shape the distinct colors observed in lakes worldwide. From green algae blooms to turbidity caused by glacial meltwater runoff, various elements contribute to alterations in lake coloration while reflecting the role played by environmental succession processes. This review paper comprehensively explains the complex interaction between climate change and lake color from climatology's perspective as well as hydrology's and ecology's perspectives. Furthermore, it emphasizes proactive measures aimed at mitigating adverse effects on freshwater ecosystems.
