Lakes and ponds are scattered on Earth's surface as islands in the ocean. The organisms
inhabiting these ecosystems have thus developed strategies to pass the barrier represented …

Our understanding on phytoplankton diversity has largely been progressing since the
publication of Hutchinson on the paradox of the plankton. In this paper, we summarise some …

Communities of microscopic plant life, or phytoplankton, dominate the Earth's aquatic
ecosystems. This important new book by Colin Reynolds covers the adaptations, physiology …

On basis of recent developments in phytoplankton ecology an assemblage index, Q, was
developed to assess ecological status of different lake types established by the Water …

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 …

The phytoplankton functional group concept is successfully used to assess ecological status
in lakes (Q index), and also provides a method for lotic ecosystems (Q (r) index). Here, we …

Daning River is a deep tributary of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in China, with water level
fluctuations of 30m annually. It was assumed that the hydrologic regime would be the main …

In the last decade, studies have focused on identifying the most suitable microalgal species
for coupled high rate algal pond (HRAP) wastewater treatment and resource recovery …

This study aimed at evaluating phytoplankton as a monitoring tool for water quality
assessment in an urban shallow eutrophic reservoir considering temporal and vertical …

Ecological conditions and phytoplankton succession in two shallow hypertrophic lakes
(Langer See and Melangsee) and a dimictic, eutrophic lake (Scharmützelsee) in a lake …
