Agricultural, urban and industrial activities have dramatically increased aquatic nitrogen and
phosphorus pollution (eutrophication), threatening water quality and biotic integrity from …

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 …

In the current context, there is a growing interest in reducing the use of chemical fertilizers
and pesticides to promote ecological agriculture. The use of biochar and plant growth …

There is hardly any sunshine exposed surface on this Earth, be it water or terrain, which
would not support some biota. Still, many habitats offer harsh conditions requiring …

Cyanobacteria are the most common toxigenic algae in inland waters. Their toxins can affect
the health of aquatic and terrestrial organisms, including humans. Other algal groups, such …

Harsh environments are typically characterized by some dominant variable limiting diversity,
making them interesting systems for studying how species diversity patterns change with …

Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA) is one of the world's largest hypersaline lakes, supporting many
of the western US's migratory waterbirds. This unique ecosystem is threatened, but it and …

Cyanobacteria form a major component of the biota of hypersaline environments including
salt lakes, solar salterns, hypersaline lagoons, and hypersaline sulphur springs …

Over geologic time, the water in the Bonneville basin has risen and fallen, most dramatically
as freshwater Lake Bonneville lost enormous volume 15,000–13,000 years ago and …

Terminal lakes are highly susceptible to climate change impacts since water that enters
through precipitation, runoff, and groundwater must be balanced with water that leaves …
