Atmospheric stilling offsets the benefits from reduced nutrient loading in a large shallow lake
(Wiley, 2019)
As part of a global phenomenon, a 30% decrease in average wind speed since 1996 in southern Estonia
together with more frequent easterly winds resulted in 47% decrease in bottom shear stress in the large
(270 km2), shallow ...
Role of potentially toxic cyanobacteria in crustacean zooplankton diet in a eutrophic lake
(Elsevier, 2019)
The coexistence of potentially toxic bloom-forming cyanobacteria (CY) and generally smaller-sized grazer
communities has raised the question of zooplankton (ZP) ability to control harmful cyanobacterial blooms and
highlighted ...
Drainage Ratio as a Strong Predictor of Allochthonous Carbon Budget in Hemiboreal Lakes
(Springer, 2019)
We assessed the allochthonous organic carbon
(OC) budgets for thirteen hemiboreal lakes using a
simple equilibrium model coupled with a Bayesian
framework for estimating parameter distribution
and uncertainty. Model ...
How light conditions influence theoretical pelagic to benthic primary production ratios in small lakes
(Wiley, 2019)
Theoretical pelagic primary production of phytoplankton and benthic primary production of periphyton were modelled for two small lakes in Estonia (Northeast
Europe). Although located only 500 m apart, the water colour and ...
Individual Physiological Adaptations Enable Selected Bacterial Taxa To Prevail during Long-Term Incubations
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019)
Enclosure experiments are frequently used to investigate the impact of
changing environmental conditions on microbial assemblages. Yet, how the incuba-
tion itself challenges complex bacterial communities is thus far ...
Differing trophic niches of three French stygobionts and their implications for conservation of endemic stygofauna
(Wiley, 2019)
1. Groundwater ecosystems represent the greatest proportion of unfrozen freshwa-
ter on Earth and harbour high numbers of rare taxa with restricted distributions.
Stygofaunal abundance, species richness, and ecology play ...
Environmental safety data on CuO and TiO₂ nanoparticles for multiple algal species in natural water: Filling the data gaps for risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2019)
Most research on nanoparticle (NP) ecotoxicological effects has been conducted on single species in laboratory
conditions that are not environmentally representative. We compared the effects of CuO NPs, CuSO4 (ionic ...
Catchment properties and the photosynthetic trait composition of freshwater plant communities
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Freshwater plants can be broadly divided into two major categories according to their photosynthetic traits: Some use carbon dioxide as their carbon source, whereas others use bicarbonate. Iversen et al. found that the ...
Trophic role of marbled crayfish in a lentic freshwater ecosystem
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre, 2019)
Species’ introductions may cause severe adverse effects on freshwater ecosystems
and their biota. The marbled crayfish, Procambarus virginalis Lyko, 2017, is an
invasive parthenogenetically reproducing crayfish with rapid ...
The future depends on what we do today – Projecting Europe's surface water quality into three different future scenarios
(Elsevier, 2019)
There are infinite possible future scenarios reflecting the impacts of anthropogenic multiple stress on our planet.
These impacts include changes in climate and land cover, to which aquatic ecosystems are especially ...
