Extending the timescale and range of ecosystem services through paleoenvironmental analyses, exemplified in the lower Yangtze basin
In China, and elsewhere, long-term economic development and poverty alleviation need to
be balanced against the likelihood of ecological failure. Here, we show how …

Seasonal dynamics of macrophytes and phytoplankton in shallow lakes: a eutrophication‐driven pathway from plants to plankton?
Seasonal relationships between macrophyte and phytoplankton populations may alter
considerably as lakes undergo eutrophication. Understanding of these changes may be key …

The role of palaeolimnology in assessing eutrophication and its impact on lakes
Eutrophication is perhaps the most pervasive form of pollution. Here we first review its effects
on lake ecosystems based largely on modern ecological investigation. The longer time scale …

Ecological influences on larval chironomid communities in shallow lakes: implications for palaeolimnological interpretations
To correctly interpret chironomid faunas for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, it is
essential that we improve our understanding of the relative influence of ecosystem variables …
