Phytoplankton species composition, seasonal dynamics and spatial distribution in the
shallow Lake Doïrani were studied during the growth season of 1996 along with key …

Microalgae have been used as a biological classification tool for lakes and slowflowing
waters since the late 19th century. Well-known examples are given by Apstein (1896) and …

Herein, we report the response of indices based on phytoplankton and zooplankton and
their combination to different nutrient concentrations in lakes. The study was carried out in …

Chlorophytes and cyanobacteria are among the most typical algal groups, contributing to the
aesthetic appearance and quality of the epilimnetic waters of the deep (251–410 m) and …

A linked chain of causal factors—namely, winter air temperature, spring lake temperature,
extent of the spring lake overturn, and extent of surface nutrient enrichment—had significant …

This paper offers a synoptic account of studies on the phytoplankton communities in the
deep southern subalpine lakes (DSL) Garda, Iseo, Como, Lugano and Maggiore. The main …

A comparative analysis of the phytoplankton of 27 lakes of three Lake Districts (Karelian
Isthmus, Latgalian Elevation and Bolshezemelskaja Tundra), all situated at high temperate …

The value of algae as bio-monitors and bio-indicators has already been recognised in the
mid 19th century: The first concept which has been developed was the system of saprobity. It …

Two man-made Sicilian lakes of differing trophic status were sampled weekly for a year, in
order to compare their phytoplankton dynamics and to identify their driving factors. The water …

Biological elements, including phytoplankton, phytobenthos, macrophytes, benthic
invertebrates and fish, are employed by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) …
