The potential of palaeolimnological methods for establishing reference conditions and
restoration targets for lakes has been recognised for some time, and has received renewed …

Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in lake littoral zones is an inland water wetland type
that provides numerous essential ecosystem services, such as supplying food and habitat …

The importance of conservation is growing each year, with increasing concerns over the
destruction of biodiversity and the rising awareness of ecosystem services generating new …

The reconstruction of human-driven ecosystem dynamics under the background of climate

Sediment accumulation rate (SAR) is an important physical parameter in all lakes and
increases have been observed in many over the last c. 100 years. This has been ascribed to …

Palaeolimnology and contemporary ecology are complementary disciplines but are rarely
combined. By reviewing the literature and using a case study, we show how linking the …

Summary 1 Medium‐sized and large mountain rivers are among the most degraded river
types in Europe and numerous river restoration projects are currently carried out to achieve …

Historically, limnological and paleolimnological research has focused on large and typically
deep lakes but in the last two decades there has been a growing interest in smaller and …

This chapter considers a range of numerical techniques that lie outside the familiar statistical
methods of linear regression, analysis of variance, and generalised linear models or data …
