Freshwaters face multiple environmental problems including eutrophication, acidification,
salinization, and climate-change, all of which can lead to impairment of ecosystem structure …

Ecological thresholds comprise relatively fast changes in ecological conditions, with respect
to time or external drivers, and are an attractive concept in both scientific and policy arenas …

Nutrient targets based on pressure-response models are essential for defining ambitions
and managing eutrophication. However, the scale of biogeographical variation in these …

We have quantified inputs and fate of nutrients in European fresh and marine waters from
1990 to 2018. We have used the conceptual model GREEN to assess the impact of efforts …

Eutrophication caused by an excessive presence of nutrients is affecting large portions of
European waters with more than 60% of the surface water bodies failing to achieve the …

Using multimetric indices (MMIs) for monitoring the ecosystem health of rivers is common
practice. Increasing the applicability of MMIs needs understanding of the impacts of natural …

Nutrient proportion, light intensity, and temperature affect the succession of dominant
phytoplankton species. Despite these insights, this transformation mechanism in highly …

In mesotidal estuaries, the spatial and temporal variation of physicochemical and biological
parameters, and thus water quality, is strongly influenced by tidal dynamics. Hence, to …

Eutrophication is one of the most pervasive stressors impacting streams, often leading to
loss of biodiversity or change in natural functions. To protect against these adverse effects …

We developed and compared the performance of freshwater benthic diatom indices
calculated from (i) traditional morphological species identification,(ii) Amplicon Sequence …
