Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Depth-distribution of lake benthic diatom assemblages in relation to light availability and substrate: implications for paleolimnological studies
AM Hofmann, J Geist, L Nowotny, U Raeder - Journal of Paleolimnology, 2020 - Springer
We analyzed the depth distributions of benthic diatoms in two adjacent, but hydrologically
distinct subalpine lakes (Lakes Soiernseen, S-Germany). Lake Unterer Soiernsee is affected …
