Human activity is pushing lakes beyond their natural carbon limits
Lakes play an important role in capturing and storing carbon, which accumulates in their sediments. But the amounts they can absorb have varied considerably over time. Jean-François Lapierre, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Université de Montréal, is part of a research team sorting out natural variations from human-influenced changes.
