These platforms are the second important tropical to subtropical environment where high amounts of carbonate are produced and accumulated at water depths shallower than 50 m. The areal extension is about 0.8-10 km In contrast to reefs, on carbonate platforms production is mainly carried out by benthic red/green algae, mollusks and benthic foraminifera. Estimates of biotic and, to a much lesser extent, abiotic carbonate production on platforms range between 300-500 g CaCO m yr , which amounts to 4-10 mol yr on a global scale. Accumulation of platform carbonate is difficult to assess because a lot of it is dissolved or can be found as exported material in several 10 to 100 m... 

Loss of sensitive species of minnow and dace, such as black-nose dace and fathead minnow in some waters decreased reproductive success of lake trout and walleye, which are important sport fish species in some areas Visual accumulations of filamentous green algae in the littoral zone of many lakes, in some streams Distinct decrease in the species richness and change in species composition of the phytoplankton, zooplankton, and benthic invertebrate communities, although little if any change in total community biomass or production...
