TL;DR: In this article, an assemblage index, Q, was developed to assess ecological status of different lake types established by the Water Framework Directive (WFD), since 5 ≥ Q ≥ 0, the developed index can provide 5-grade qualification required by WFD.

TL;DR: This analysis highlights that there is great potential to enhance assessment schemes through strategic design of monitoring networks and innovation, such as earth observation, and further integrate with other sectoral policies.

TL;DR: In this article, the maximum potential capacity of cyanobacteria in relation to total phosphorus (TP) and the use of a range of quantile responses, alongside World Health Organisation (WHO) health alert thresholds for recreational waters, for setting robust phosphorus targets for lake management in relation with water use.

TL;DR: In this article, late summer phytoplankton associations were studied qualitatively and quantitatively in 80 Hungarian lakes altogether (mostly shallow salt lakes, reservoirs, oxbow, gravel pit lakes).

TL;DR: In this article, a cascading reservoir continuum concept (CRCC) is proposed for handling the ecological processes at a system level, which can be used to forecast a progressive downstream eutrophication of the Tiete river.
