Highly calcareous (marl) lakes are infrequent but important freshwater ecosystems,
protected under the EU Habitats and Species Directive. Chara lakes have been considered …

Aquatic macrophytes are commonly used to assess the ecological condition of lakes. Little is
known, however, about long‐term macrophyte dynamics in shallow lakes. In the absence of …

Aquatic macrophytes play a key role in providing habitat, refuge and food for a range of biota
in shallow lakes. However, many shallow lakes have experienced declines in macrophyte …

In this study we aim to investigate millennial-scale dynamics of Isoëtes, a type of macrophyte
well adapted to oligotrophic and clear-water lakes. Despite its wide distribution during the …

Arcellinida (lobose testate amoebae) preserve well in lake sediments and have shown great
potential as palaeolimnological indicators, but a limited understanding of their ecology …

Shallow lakes are susceptible to catastrophic regime shifts characterised by the presence or
absence or macrophytes. However, the long-term controls on macrophyte succession in …

Light reduction and increased organic matter load often occur together in lakes undergoing
eutrophication. We aimed at experimentally testing the relative importance of light …

The paper analyses a hydrographic network and its changes in the area of Uściwierskie
Lowering in last 180 years. The Uściwierskie Lowering was originally the second largest …

Archived data and sedimentary macrofossil records of vegetation and invertebrates
deposited in a 60-cm long sediment core were analysed to examine if macrophyte …

Meliorations of the Łęczna-Włodawa Lakeland have considerably determined its water
relations within the last more than 200 years. The analysis of the map by Anton Mayer von …
