Response and self-regulation of lakes to climate change?

Lakes will affect the local microclimate.

The rich plant community in the lake can absorb a lot of carbon dioxide gas and release oxygen. Some plants in the lake also have the function of absorbing harmful gases in the air, which can effectively regulate the atmospheric composition. But at the same time, it must be noted that the creatures in the lake will also release greenhouse gases such as methane and ammonia. Lakes can also absorb dust in the air and bring all kinds of bacteria into the water, thus purifying the air.

Transpiration on the lake can maintain local humidity and rainfall. In lakes surrounded by forests, a large amount of rainfall evaporates through trees, returns to the atmosphere, and then drops to the surrounding areas in the form of rain. If the lake is buried, the local rainfall will decrease. This will have a negative impact on human activities such as agriculture in this area. For example, the morning fog produced by the nearby swamp can reduce the loss of soil moisture.
