Predicting the ecological causes and consequences of global climate change requires a
variety of approaches, including the use of experiments, models, and surveys. Among …

Shallow lakes, one of the most widespread water bodies in the world landscape, are very
sensitive to climate change. Several theories predict changes in community traits, relevant …

Invasion by common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in
shallow lakes have been followed by stable-state changes from a macrophyte-dominated …

Aquatic resource managers are continually faced with construction or site development
proposals which, if allowed to proceed, would ultimately alter the physical structure and …

Lakes have, rather grandly, been described as sentinels, integrators and regulators of
climate change (Williamson et al., Limnol. Oceanogr. 2009; 54: 2273–82). Lakes are also …

Abstract Changes in bacterioplankton community composition were followed in mesocosms
set up in the littoral of Lake Vesijärvi, southern Finland, over two summers. Increasing …

Nutrient and fish manipulations in mesocosms were carried out on food‐web interactions in
a Mediterranean shallow lake in south‐east Spain. Nutrients controlled biomass of …

Differences in the dynamics of ecological processes between Mediterranean and colder
temperate aquatic systems could imply different patterns in faunal communities in terms of …

Results are analysed from 11 experiments in which effects of fish addition and nutrient
loading on shallow lakes were studied in mesocosms. The experiments, five in 1998, six in …

In temperate regions, submerged macrophytes can hamper phytoplankton blooms. Such an
effect could arise directly, for instance via allelopathy, or indirectly, via competition for …
