With the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), the member states
have to classify the ecological status of surface waters following standardised procedures. It …

A sediment core from a closed basin lake (Lake Kuhai) from the semi-arid northeastern
Tibetan Plateau was analysed for its pollen record to infer Lateglacial and post glacial …

Seasonal relationships between macrophyte and phytoplankton populations may alter
considerably as lakes undergo eutrophication. Understanding of these changes may be key …

Although its role in the functioning of aquatic systems is widely recognized, the contribution
of freshwater metazooplankton (metazoan plankton) to ecosystem services (ES) is seldom …

Eutrophication is perhaps the most pervasive form of pollution. Here we first review its effects
on lake ecosystems based largely on modern ecological investigation. The longer time scale …

To correctly interpret chironomid faunas for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, it is
essential that we improve our understanding of the relative influence of ecosystem variables …

Palaeolimnology and contemporary ecology are complementary disciplines but are rarely
combined. By reviewing the literature and using a case study, we show how linking the …

Using pollen analysis and metabarcoding of plant sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNa), we
infer the floristic diversity in the vicinity of Lake Balyktukel, Ulagan Plateau, the Altai …

Eutrophication and climate change are two of the most pressing environmental issues
affecting up to 50% of aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Mitigation strategies to reduce the …

We examined the impact of lake trophic state on the taxonomic and functional structure of
cladoceran communities and the role of nutrient loading in structuring both cladoceran and …
