CC Blanchet, C Arzel, A Davranche… - Science of the Total …, 2022‏ - Elsevier
Water browning or brownification refers to increasing water color, often related to increasing
dissolved organic matter (DOM) and carbon (DOC) content in freshwaters. Browning has …

Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: a review and perspective

ES Bakker, KA Wood, JF Pagès, GFC Veen… - Aquatic Botany, 2016‏ - Elsevier
Until the 1990s, herbivory on aquatic vascular plants was considered to be of minor
importance, and the predominant view was that freshwater and marine macrophytes did not …

Submerged macrophyte decline in shallow lakes: what have we learnt in the last forty years?

G Phillips, N Willby, B Moss - Aquatic Botany, 2016‏ - Elsevier
Over the last 40 years there has been substantial evidence that high biomasses of
submerged aquatic plants and phytoplankton rarely occur together in shallow lakes, but it is …

Translating regime shifts in shallow lakes into changes in ecosystem functions and services

S Hilt, S Brothers, E Jeppesen, AJ Veraart… - BioScience, 2017‏ - academic.oup.com
Shallow lakes, the most prevalent type of freshwater ecosystems, can shift between clear
states with macrophyte dominance and turbid, phytoplankton-dominated states. Such …

Response of submerged macrophyte communities to external and internal restoration measures in north temperate shallow lakes

S Hilt, MM Alirangues Nuñez, ES Bakker… - Frontiers in plant …, 2018‏ - frontiersin.org
Submerged macrophytes play a key role in north temperate shallow lakes by stabilizing
clear-water conditions. Eutrophication has resulted in macrophyte loss and shifts to turbid …

Evaluating early-warning indicators of critical transitions in natural aquatic ecosystems

AS Gsell, U Scharfenberger, D Özkundakci… - Proceedings of the …, 2016‏ - pnas.org
Ecosystems can show sudden and persistent changes in state despite only incremental
changes in drivers. Such critical transitions are difficult to predict, because the state of the …

Morphological traits of submerged macrophytes reveal specific positive feedbacks to water clarity in freshwater ecosystems

H Su, J Chen, Y Wu, J Chen, X Guo, Z Yan… - Science of the Total …, 2019‏ - Elsevier
Positive feedbacks are generally related to the interactions between biotic processes and
abiotic drivers and may lead to the emergence of alternative stable states in ecosystems …

Facilitation of clear-water conditions in shallow lakes by macrophytes: differences between charophyte and angiosperm dominance

I Blindow, A Hargeby, S Hilt - Hydrobiologia, 2014‏ - Springer
A number of mechanisms result in a feedback between water clarity and macrophytes and,
consequently, the occurrence of alternative stable states in shallow lakes. We hypothesize …

From clear lakes to murky waters–tracing the functional response of high‐latitude lake communities to concurrent 'greening'and 'browning'

B Hayden, C Harrod, SM Thomas, AP Eloranta… - Ecology …, 2019‏ - Wiley Online Library
Climate change and the intensification of land use practices are causing widespread
eutrophication of subarctic lakes. The implications of this rapid change for lake ecosystem …
