Check out this excellent conceptual manuscript helmed by the inimitable @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social. Definitions are key to conducting research and 'trophic state' proves to be exceptionally complicated!

It takes patience to have a conversation about definitions as a collaboration begins... but it is important!
"Trophic state" in lakes is one of those concepts! It really makes a difference which definition we use... @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social

Clarifying the trophic state concept to advance macroscale freshwater science and management
For over a century, ecologists have used the concept of trophic state (TS) to characterize an aquatic ecosystem's biological productivity. However, multiple TS classification schemes, each relying on....

Widespread loss of safe lake ice access in response to a warming climate
Millions of people rely on lake ice for safe winter recreation. Warming air temperatures impact the phenology (timing of formation and breakup) and quality (ratio of black to white ice) of lake ice co...
