And the authors said declining oxygen could lead to increased fish kills, algal blooms and methane emissions.
Researchers examined the temperature and dissolved oxygen the amount of oxygen in the water – in nearly 400 lakes and found that declines were widespread. Their study, published recently in the journal Nature, found dissolved oxygen fell 5.5 % in surface waters of these lakes and 18.6% in deep waters.
The authors said their findings suggest that warming temperatures and decreased water clarity from human activity are causing the oxygen decline.
“Oxygen is one of the best indicators of ecosystem health, and changes in this study reflect a pronounced human footprint,” said co-author Craig E. Williamson, a biology professor at Miami University in Ohio.

Capital Region universities, corporate research labs and semiconductor research and manufacturing all stand to gain billions of dollars in federal support under the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, which passed the Senate with bipartisan support late Tuesday.
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer said the $250 billion measure would have tremendous impact on a number of local institutions, as well as others across the country.
The measure incorporates Schumer s $52 billion CHIPS Act, which would help fund new semiconductor fabrication plants, including one at GlobalFoundries in Malta. The plant likely would be similar in size to GlobalFoundries existing fab, which employs 3,000 workers. It also incorporates Schumer s Endless Frontier Act, as well other bipartisan measures intended to restore the nation s competitiveness.
