As the global population increases, the expansion of road networks has led to the
destruction and disturbance of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Road-related stressors have …

Current methods of ecological health assessment of lakes within the United States are not
adequate for meeting the requirements of the 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA) and assessing …

We analysed submerged macrophyte communities from 300 Danish lakes to determine the
efficacy of different species, maximum colonisation depth (Cmax) of plants as well as …

Freshwater ecosystems are essential to human and wildlife survival. They harbor a wide
biodiversity that contributes to ecosystem services. In the ecosystem of the Brazilian …

Traditional approaches for managing aquatic resources have often failed to account for
effects of anthropogenic disturbances on biota that are not directly reflected by chemical and …

Quantifying the relative role of environmental and spatial factors to understand patterns in
community composition is a fundamental goal of community ecology. We applied a tested …

Macrophytes play an important role in shallow lakes if large standing crop can be achieved.
Here we stress the role of submerged macrophytes for benthic-pelagic coupling in the …

To examine the influence of landscape characteristics and landscape position on aquatic
biogeochemistry, we sampled a total of 76 lakes within 14 different lake-chains spanning the …

We analysed macrophyte species composition and abundance, water chemistry and
hydromorphological parameters of all major river stretches and lakes in the catchment of the …

Over the past decades, shallow lakes of the Pampean Plain, Argentina, have been shifting
from clear vegetated to turbid phytoplanktonic states due to anthropic pressures. It is not …
