Shallow lakes, one of the most widespread water bodies in the world landscape, are very
sensitive to climate change. Several theories predict changes in community traits, relevant …

For the sustainable use of lake ecosystem services—water resources, aquatic habitats for
biodiversity conservation, and aesthetic values as waterfront space—ecosystem health …

Structural complexity may stabilise predator–prey interactions and affect the outcome of
trophic cascades by providing prey refuges. In deep lakes, vulnerable zooplankton move …

Elevated allochthonous inputs of organic matter are increasingly recognized as a driver of
ecosystem change in lakes, particularly when concurrent with eutrophication. Evaluation of …

Abstract The European Water Framework Directive implements the policies to achieve a
good ecological status of all European waterbodies. To determine the ecological potential in …

The response of zooplankton assemblages to variations in the water quality of four man-
made lakes, caused by eutrophication and siltation, was investigated by means of canonical …

Industrial processes and the use of fertilizers are the main causes for the rapid
eutrophication of lakes. Different indices, both chemical and biological, may be used to …

The changes in species composition between habitat patches (beta diversity) are likely
related to a number of factors, including environmental heterogeneity, connectivity …

Reservoirs are intermediate ecosystems between rivers and lakes. These ecosystems break
up the landscape by forming artificial lakes connected by rivers and change important …

In the pelagic food web of lakes, zooplankton offers the linkage between phytoplankton and
fish, greatly affecting but also mirroring the functionality and stability of the ecosystem …
