  - Deforestation is currently a widespread phenomenon and a growing environmental
    concern in the era of rapid climate change. In temperate regions, it is challenging
    to quantify the impacts of deforestation on the catchment dynamics and downstream
    aquatic ecosystems such as reservoirs and disentangle these from direct climate
    change impacts, let alone project future changes to inform management. Here, we
    tackled this issue by investigating a unique catchment-reservoir system with two
    reservoirs in distinct trophic states (meso‑ and eutrophic), both of which drain
    into the largest drinking water reservoir in Germany. Due to the prolonged droughts
    in 2015–2018, the catchment of the mesotrophic reservoir lost an unprecedented
    area of forest (exponential increase since 2015 and ca. 17.1% loss in 2020 alone).
    We coupled catchment nutrient exports (HYPE) and reservoir ecosystem dynamics
    (GOTM-WET) models using a process-based modeling approach. The coupled model was
    validated with datasets spanning periods of rapid deforestation, which makes our
    future projections highly robust. Results show that in a short-term time scale
    (by 2035), increasing nutrient flux from the catchment due to vast deforestation
    (80% loss) can turn the mesotrophic reservoir into a eutrophic state as its counterpart.
    Our results emphasize the more prominent impacts of deforestation than the direct
    impact of climate warming in impairment of water quality and ecological services
    to downstream aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, we propose to evaluate the impact
    of climate change on temperate reservoirs by incorporating a time scale-dependent
    context, highlighting the indirect impact of deforestation in the short-term scale.
    In the long-term scale (e.g. to 2100), a guiding hypothesis for future research
    may be that indirect effects (e.g., as mediated by catchment dynamics) are as
    important as the direct effects of climate warming on aquatic ecosystems.@eng
