Ensemble-based mapping and trophic characterization of lentic water bodies in the Middle Ganga Basin under climate and land use change

Key Points

• Characterization of lentic water bodies helps in understanding ecological dynamics under climate change.
• Analysis revealed how climate and land use modifications affect nutrient levels and aquatic species diversity.
• Assessing trophic status through ensemble-based mapping techniques provided a comprehensive ecological overview.
• Implications highlight potential threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services due to ongoing environmental changes.
