A comprehensive evaluation method for plateau freshwater lakes: a case in the Erhai Lake

The study first systematically assessed the ecosystem health status of the plateau freshwater lake of Erhai Lake in Yunnan Province of China, using the revised Freshwater Health Indicator methodology, which comprised three components, i.e., “Ecosystem Vitality,” “Ecosystem Services,” and “Governance...
