And when you start losing oxygen, you have the potential to lose species. Lakes are losing oxygen 2.75-9.3 times faster than the oceans, a decline that will have impacts throughout the ecosystem. While lakes only cover about 3 percent of the surface of the Earth, they contain a disproportionate concentration of the planet s biodiversity .  Lakes are indicators or sentinels of environmental change and potential threats to the environment because they respond to signals from the surrounding landscape and atmosphere, said lead author Stephen Jane, also of Rensselaer. We found that these disproportionally more biodiverse systems are changing rapidly, indicating the extent to which ongoing atmospheric changes have already impacted ecosystems.
