Freshwater littoral zones harbor diverse ecological communities and serve numerous
ecosystem functions that are controlled, in part, by natural water level fluctuations. However …

Evidence for lake-level changes derived from stratigraphic sequences in cores from littoral
zones is reviewed in the context of lake sedimentation processes. These are illustrated with …

Ecology of Shallow Lakes brings together current understanding of the mechanisms that
drive the diametrically opposite states of water clarity, shown by the cover paintings, found in …

Sediment focusing is a process whereby water turbulence moves sedimented material from
shallower to deeper zones of a lake. Sediment focusing occurs in lakes in both the erosional …

Hydrodynamics play an important role in sediment nutrient dynamics in large shallow
eutrophic lakes. In this study, the spatial patterns of sediment nitrogen and phosphorus in …

A compartmental multimedia model was developed to enable evaluation of the dynamic
environmental multimedia mass distribution and concentrations of engineered …

Periods with clear water and abundant submerged vegetation have alternated with periods
of turbid water and sparse vegetation during recent decades in Lake Tåkern and Lake …

On the basis of investigations in situ, it was found that mass exchange on the water-
sediment interface occurred chiefly on the superficial sediment within 5–10 cm. The spatial …

The process of sediment resuspension in lakes influences lake metabolism by causing
turbidity and cycling of particulate material. Wind, currents and morphometry of the lake …

Wind‐induced sediment resuspension can affect planktonic primary productivity by
influencing light penetration and nutrient availability, and by contributing meroplankton …
