Eutrophication is one of the main causes of the degradation of lake ecosystems. Its
intensification during the last decades has led the stakeholders to seek for water …

Understanding and predicting the ecological consequences of different management
alternatives is becoming increasingly important to support environmental management …

Submerged macrophytes play a key role in north temperate shallow lakes by stabilizing
clear-water conditions. Eutrophication has resulted in macrophyte loss and shifts to turbid …

In this paper, we introduce the CSPS framework for the hierarchical assessment of aquatic
ecosystem models built on a range of metrics and characteristic signatures relevant to …

Ongoing eutrophication frequently causes toxic phytoplankton blooms. This induces huge
worldwide challenges for drinking water quality, food security and public health. Of crucial …

scale.•There are currently no algal projection models similar to the ideal model.•Scientific …

Here, we present a community perspective on how to explore, exploit and evolve the
diversity in aquatic ecosystem models. These models play an important role in …
