From historical backgrounds towards the functional classification of river phytoplankton sensu Colin S. Reynolds: what future merits the approach may hold?
River phytoplankton has been studied to understand its occurrence and composition since
the end of the nineteenth century. Later, pioneers addressed mechanisms that affected river …

Spatiotemporal variability of phytoplankton functional groups in a shallow eutrophic lake from cold, arid regions
In the shallow eutrophic lakes in cold, arid regions, the phytoplankton functional groups and
the factors that drive their spatiotemporal variabilities remain unclear. Samples were …

[HTML][HTML] Lake morphology as an important constraint for benthic diatoms in temperate, humic forest ponds
Small lakes are among the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Their protection is of
crucial importance since they support an unusually high biodiversity relative to their size …

Downstream transport processes modulate the effects of environmental heterogeneity on riverine phytoplankton
Environmental heterogeneity (EH) in space and time promotes niche-partition, which leads
to high variation in biological communities, such as in algae. In streams, EH is highly related …
