Evaluation of water quality and eutrophication status of Hawassa Lake based on different water quality indices. Comparison of lake area and lake surface elevation between the results in this study and two existing data (Hydroweb and Lis data) for lake Ngangla-Ringco from 2002 to 2019. The large difference between our and Lis volume data is probably caused by the difference in elevation. Remote Sens. GSL, the fourth largest endorheic lake in the world is a hypersaline (salinity 50-285 g.l 1; average 120 g.l 1 since 1876), shallow system (depth <10 m) covering an average area of 4480 km . Yan, D. et al. However, our high-resolution mapping revealed the opposite trend when the desiccated Aral Sea was excluded; under this condition, we found continuously expanding small lakes in endorheic basins . A consensus on these mechanisms remains elusive, probably due to the differences in microbial community structure involved in N cycling, which is sensitive to salinity variation (Herbert et al., 2015; Zhou et al., 2016). The mean elevation of the lake boundaries from this study are 4569.59m, 4569.77m, and 4571.25m, respectively. Lake Bosten used to be the largest freshwater lake in the endorheic basins of China and is of great importance as a water supply for local domestic use and industrial and agricultural production (Zhou et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2018b).

Res. Figure 5. Schematic diagram showing how relative lake water volume can be calculated using a series of frustums. Li, X. et al. While individual lake changes may present conflicting signals (i.e., open lakes have limited changes and downstream closed lakes have large changes), combining hydrologically connected lakes as one lake may alleviate this issue when studying the changes in lake water storage50. For validation purpose, we compared our results with a widely used lake surface elevation/storage data from the Laboratoire dEtudes en Gophysique et Ocanographie Spatiales (LEGOS) Hydroweb30 and two most recent lake water volume data from Li, et al.19 and Yao, et al.1. The dataset in this study, compared with other existing data, covers more lakes, especially small lakes in 110km2, and longer time period. Tadono, T. et al. Luo, S. et al. Chem. From 2016 to 2019, while our and Lis lake surface elevation both show a significant increase, Hydroweb elevation has a slight decrease. Given limited precipitation but high potential evaporation, their water storage is vulnerable to subtle. From the further lake water balance estimate (Table S3), it is apparent that the increased precipitation is the dominant cause (74%) of lake increase in the TP's endorheic basin during 2003-2009, followed by glacier mass loss (13%) and permafrost degradation (12%).

In Lis data, lake Gozha-Cos surface elevation rose from 2001 to 2009 reaching the highest elevation of 5084.43m in 2009, and then it started a decreasing trend (Fig. Introduction The global endorheic system has experienced widespread water losses in surface water, soil moisture and groundwater in response to both climate change and human intervention ( Wang et al., 2018b, Wang et al., 2018a ). Lakes in the same area do not have the same trend of change, and two lakes in close proximity may also have opposite trends, such as Yangzhuoyong Co and Pumayum Co, Peigu Co and Tsojielong. When the symmetric axis of the SOPR model falls within [MinA, MaxA], the derived elevation-area relationship will be non-monotonic. Res. Gray, D. K., Hampton, S. E., OReilly, C. M., Sharma, S. & Cohen, R. S. How do data collection and processing methods impact the accuracy of longterm trend estimation in lake surfacewater temperatures? Hydrobiologia 750, 201227. Climate change introduces a new challenge for endorheic lakes (Tao et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2017). J. Oceanol. Study area and two sub-regions (the Inner and Qaidam Basins). Atmosphere 12, 15. doi: 10.3390/atmos12050548, Yang, Z., Lu, L., Cheng, Z., Xian, J., Yang, Y., Liu, L., et al. When this happened, we treated the composite image as contaminated and unreliable, and the lake area for the year was linearly interpolated using prior and later years lake area. Chen, C., Twycross, J. Nat. Takaku, J., Tadono, T. & Tsutsui, K. Generation of high resolution global DSM from Alos PRISM. In Lake Bosten, there is heterogeneity in denitrification potential. Manag. The Heihe River Basin, China's second largest endorheic river basin, lost its terminal lake in the 1990 s due to a rapid decline in river discharge to the downstream area, but the lake has returned quickly since the early 2000 s. Pedobiologia 60, 2126. Without lake bathymetry data, we can only estimate lake surface elevation based on the elevation-area relationship derived from DTM assuming that the slopes below and above the lake water surface when the DTM was collected are similar11. In this study, we combined the lakes that are connected by short rivers as one lake (see Fig. Stoch. doi: 10.1177/0959683619865586, Francis, C. A., Roberts, K. J., Beman, J. M., Santoro, A. E., and Oakley, B. 8). Recent climate and hydrological changes in a mountainbasin system in Xinjiang, China. In other types of lakes, minerals such as salt get washed away into the outlet of the lake, such as a river or the ocean. In addition, sMAPE allows 0 in the data, which is very common in RLV. This approach worked effectively for waterbodies larger than 50km2 and 490 lakes and their extents were identified this way. 4B as an example, its area range from Landsat imagery is [0.23, 16.71]km2 from 1989 to 2019, yet the smallest area obtained from SRTM is 4.69km2. All the PCCs are significant with p-values less than 0.01. This approach is labelled as LRN; If the number of data pairs is two, we used the LR to derive the elevation-area relationship and label this approach as LRC; If the number of data pairs is equal to or greater than five and lake area range from the selected DTM fully covers the area range ([MinA, MaxA]) from Landsat imagery, the MCI method was used; In other cases, the SOPR method was used. Google Scholar. Remote Sens. Because Yao et al.1 did not provide lake area and surface elevation data, it is difficult for us to further examine the discrepancy. Earth Sci. Dong, S., Peng, F., You, Q., Guo, J. The nosZI gene was sequenced to explore the microbial community structure performing complete denitrification across the lake using the primer pairs nosZ-F/nosZ1622R (Throback et al., 2004). It is suitable for exploring the relative differences in denitrification potential and estimating nitrate limitations by adding extra nitrate (amended) and not adding extra nitrate (unamended) to the slurries. Risk Assess. These data were generated using 4,453,989 scenes from Landsat 5, 7, and 8 acquired between 16 March 1984 and 31 December 2020. Comparison with three major existing data products in the region indicates that our dataset is reliable and might be more accurate. doi: 10.1061/(ASCE)1084-0699(2008)13:3(180), Dai, J., Tang, X., Gao, G., Chen, D., Shao, K., Cai, X., et al. 140, 203214. 18, 477487 (2018). However, when the elevation-area pairs from the DTMs do not cover the lake area range from Landsat images, estimated elevation can have serious error, especially for MCI.

Oceanogr. Eng. Thus, how denitrification in endorheic lakes will respond to climatically induced changes in lake salinity is a key question. It is necessary to have a long-term census of lake water volume change to study the impacts of climate change on the hydrological cycle in the region. Lake area and volume variation data in the endorheic basin of the Tibetan Plateau from 1989 to 2019. 27, 14851490 (2005). An endorheic lake that drains into a swamp or marsh that eventually drains into the ocean is called a cryptorheic lake. In addition, high throughput sequencing using nosZI gene as an amplicon was conducted to estimate the microbial community structure mediating denitrification. The quality of DNA extracted in each sampling site was exhibited in Supplementary Table S2. Environ. Simultaneously, a high 15N-nitrate level (a final concentration of 100 mol L1) was injected into another group of vials to estimate the amended potential rates. The microbial community of nitrous oxide reducers was significant differences among the three areas in Lake Bosten (p < 0.05). Res. Yao, et al.1 also published a lake storage data on the IB. 44, 55505560 (2017). The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM): a breakthrough in remote sensing of topography. Especially for nitrate, the values in KRE were 34 times higher than the values in MLA and NCA, which ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 mg L1. Lake surface elevation can be estimated by calculating the average elevation of lake boundary1,3,19,40. For example, climate warming and consequent glacial melt led to the increasing inflow of the Kaidu River into Lake Bosten in 2013 (Guo et al., 2015a). 12 for an example). ; writingoriginal draft preparation, L.W. A., Kraemer, B. M., Leavitt, P. R., Mincer, J. L., North, R. L., et al. Glob. The shuttle radar topography mission. Our data have less lakes than Yaos data on the IB primarily because that connected waterbodies were counted as separate lakes in Yaos data as shown in the example in Fig. The y-axis on the right, representing lake surface elevation, is for the lines. A significant increase in lake surface elevation in 2018 can be clearly observed in Fig. Barbieux, K., Charitsi, A. The function computes a Landsat top of atmosphere (TOA) composite from a collection of Landsat scenes. Sci. Proc. 9. Environ. Appl. Constraining the contribution of glacier mass balance to the Tibetan lake growth in the early 21st century.

Lake Bosten is located in the lowest area of the intermontane Yanqi Basin between the Taklimakan Desert and Tien Shan, Northwestern China. Change Biol. 7ce show a clear increase in surface elevation (as shown by the lake shoreline location) between the years. Unfortunately, Lis data doesnt provide lake area. PubMed The archaeal amoA gene copy numbers ranged from undetected values to 1.15 104 copies g1 of sediment, and there was a decreasing trend from KRE to NCA (Figure 4B). (2019) also reported that denitrification rates were reduced due to the decrease in oxygen demand induced by salinization. Earth System Science Data 11, 16031627 (2019). J. Lett.

Besides, the Equation_Index.xlsx has the elevation-area relationship equations used for each lake. The first step is to identify individual lakes, determine their analysis extents, and calculate annual lake area from Landsat imagery. 157, 103768. doi: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2020.103768, Heinrichs, M. L., and Walker, I. R. (2006). However, comprehensive lake storage data, especially for lakes smaller than 10km2, are still lacking in the region. Most of the water that falls on Earth finds its way to the oceans through a network of rivers, lakes and wetlands. Subsequently, three of the vials were randomly selected from each group and immediately preserved with the addition of 200 L ZnCl2 as the initial samples for the measurement of denitrification rates. doi: 10.1007/s10750-014-2169-x, Jiang, X., Gao, G., Zhang, L., Tang, X., Shao, K., and Hu, Y. : X 540, 504514 (2016).

(2018b). 69, 751757. 9, 99105. We test the following hypotheses: (1) low nitrate concentration may be a proximate control of denitrification rates in Lake Bosten; (2) the sediment of different areas in Lake Bosten varies in denitrification potential due to the difference in nitrate and salinity levels; and (3) based on earlier studies about the influence of salinity on denitrification, we hypothesize that climate change can influence lake denitrification via changes in salinity. 55, 83508367 (2019). Chang. The EBTP (78.646E99.379E, 29.829N39.419N), which has a total area of 1.42106km2, can be generally divided into two sub-basins: the Inner and Qaidam Basins (IB and QB) (Fig. Each spot holds a different cure due to the unique chemical content found within each puddle. The JRC-GSW dataset contains the distribution of surface water from 1984 to 2020 and provides statistics on the extent and change of those water surfaces27.
