Shallow lakes, one of the most widespread water bodies in the world landscape, are very
sensitive to climate change. Several theories predict changes in community traits, relevant …

The rise in living standards has generated a demand for higher aquatic environmental
quality. The microalgal community and the surrounding organic molecules, environmental …

The polar regions, notably the Arctic and maritime Antarctic, are experiencing impacts from
climate change at magnitudes and rates that are among the highest in the world, and will …

We present the results of an analysis of the 16S rRNA-based taxonomical structure of
bacteria together with an analysis of carbon source utilization ability using EcoPlate (Biolog …

Aim The geographical distribution of bacteria is an important, but poorly understood, topic in
microbial ecology. A major question is how broadly distributed generalist taxa, and limitedly …

Lakes play a pivotal role in ecological and biogeochemical processes and have been
described as “sentinels” of environmental change. Assessing “lake health” across large …

Despite recent interest in microbial diversity and community structure of lakes across various
spatial scales, a global biogeographic distribution pattern and its controlling factors have not …

Whether fungal community structure depends more on historical factors or on contemporary
factors is controversial. This study used culture-dependent and-independent (polymerase …

Urban lake ecosystems are significant for social development, but currently we know little
about the geographical distribution of algal community in urban lakes at a large-scale. In this …

Due to the recent decades of climate change and intensive human activities, endorheic
lakes are threatened by both salinization and eutrophication. However, knowledge of the …
