Shifting states, shifting services: Linking regime shifts to changes in ecosystem services of shallow lakes
Shallow lakes can shift between stable states as a result of anthropogenic or natural drivers.
Four common stable states differ in dominant groups of primary producers: submerged …

Translating regime shifts in shallow lakes into changes in ecosystem functions and services
Shallow lakes, the most prevalent type of freshwater ecosystems, can shift between clear
states with macrophyte dominance and turbid, phytoplankton-dominated states. Such …
