Control of lacustrine phytoplankton biomass by phosphorus is one of the oldest and most
stable paradigms in modern limnology. Even so, evidence from bioassays conducted by …

Water scarcity and water pollution constitute a big challenge for water managers in the
Mediterranean region today and will exacerbate in a projected future warmer world, making …

Understanding the relative impact sizes of environmental factors and nutrients on the high
annual variation of phytoplankton abundance in eutrophic rivers is important for aquatic …

Executive summary Nature of the problem (science/management/policy)• Freshwater
ecosystems play a key role in the European nitrogen (N) cycle, both as a reactive agent that …

Reducing nutrient input in aquatic ecosystems has been widely recognized as a way to
mitigate eutrophication. The paradigm of nutrient limitation by N and P is pervasively …

Surface sediments from 30 mountain lakes in south-eastern Switzerland (Engadine,
Grisons) were analysed for subfossil diatom, chironomid, and cladoceran assemblages …

Deep chlorophyll maxima (DCM) are absolute maxima of Chlorophyll-a concentration
among the vertical profile that can be found in deep layers of stratified lakes. In this …

Temporal and spatial changes of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a
(Chl-a) in a shallow lake, Lake Chaohu, China, were investigated using monthly monitoring …

Based on our results, we propose the use of zooplankton abundance (density or biomass)
as an indicator to complement the information currently being used concerning the quality of …

Phytoplankton in karst lakes is characterized by co-occurrence of chrysophytes
(Chrysophyceae), dinoflagellates (Dinophyceae), and diatoms (Bacillariophyta) as the most …
