Lakes in the era of global change: moving beyond single‐lake thinking in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services
The Anthropocene presents formidable threats to freshwater ecosystems. Lakes are
especially vulnerable and important at the same time. They cover only a small area …

Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Impacts of nitrogen and phosphorus: from genomes to natural ecosystems and agriculture
Nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) availability can limit growth of primary producers across
most of the world's aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These constraints are commonly …

Pathways for cross-boundary effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning
The biodiversity–ecosystem functioning concept asserts that processes in ecosystems are
markedly influenced by species richness and other facets of biodiversity. However …

Meta-ecosystems 2.0: rooting the theory into the field
The meta-ecosystem framework demonstrates the significance of among-ecosystem spatial
flows for ecosystem dynamics and has fostered a rich body of theory. The high level of …

[HTML][HTML] Ecology and extent of freshwater browning-What we know and what should be studied next in the context of global change
Water browning or brownification refers to increasing water color, often related to increasing
dissolved organic matter (DOM) and carbon (DOC) content in freshwaters. Browning has …

Towards understanding the organisation of metacommunities in highly dynamic ecological systems
Community ecology recognises today that local biological communities are not only affected
by local biotic interactions and abiotic environmental conditions, but also by regional …

The three Rs of river ecosystem resilience: Resources, recruitment, and refugia
Resilience in river ecosystems requires that organisms must persist in the face of highly
dynamic hydrological and geomorphological variations. Disturbance events such as floods …
