TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cyanobacterial biomass has declined in some managed lakes with reduced nutrient influx, and the larger spatio-temporal scale of sedimentary records show continued increases in cyanobacteria throughout the north temperate-subarctic regions.

TL;DR: In this article, the nature of how climate and human impacts are recorded in lake sediments is often ambiguous, which is an issue that is particularly acute when considering management options for aquatic ecosystems.

TL;DR: A more rigorous logical approach is called for when translating research into management decisions on the basis of ecological stability and resilience theory.

TL;DR: While the mobile free‐living and particle‐associated communities were consistently less diverse than the fixed sediment and biofilm communities, the latter two communities displayed higher homogeneity across the sampling sites, indicating that the relative influence of deterministic environmental filtering is elevated in sediment andBiofilm communities compared with free‐ living and particle-associated communities, where stochastic processes play a larger role.

TL;DR: P pigment analysis by high performance liquid chromatography and cell counting by flow cytometry, alongside traditional chlorophyll spectrophotometry and light microscopy screening, are used to characterise the major phytoplankton bloom of 2015 in the River Thames, UK, to offer rapid and cost-effective characterisation of phy Topolankton communities at appropriate timescales.
