“…The large‐scale impacts of global change [e.g., warming, hydrological intensification, acidification recovery, extension of vegetation cover, and forest harvesting (Creed et al., 2018; Finstad et al., 2016; Moldan et al., 2017; Watmough et al., 2003)], are likely to promote continued declines in catchment delivery and lake concentrations of Ca that might hamper plankton and consumer development in northern lakes. Yet, other lake environmental variables, and changes in these, such as pH (Futter et al., 2014), TP (Isles et al., 2023), TOC (de Wit et al., 2023) and warming (Puts et al., 2023), may modify the responses in zooplankton to declining Ca. While Ca‐poor lakes are prevalent globally (Weyhenmeyer et al., 2019), and the decrease in Ca poses challenges to the fauna in these lakes, lake at low latitudes—typically more buffered and nutrient rich—show little tendency of Ca decline, even when previously exposed to acid deposition (cf., Weyhenmeyer et al., 2019).…”
