The determination of ecological status in shallow lakes - a tested system (ECOFRAME) for implementation of the European Water Framework Directive

TL;DR: In this paper, a pan-European typology and classification system was developed for shallow lakes, which can easily be extended to all lakes, and two iterations were tested in the field on tranches of 66 lakes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of climate in shaping zooplankton communities of shallow lakes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed data from 81 shallow European lakes, which were sampled with standardized methods, for combined effects of climatic, physical, and chemical features of food-web interactions, with a specific focus on zooplankton biomass and community structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progressive restoration of a shallow lake : a 12-year experiment in isolation, sediment removal and biomanipulation

TL;DR: Overall, however, there was no correlation between chlorophyll and nutrients but a strong inverse correlation with Daphnia numbers and the nutrient conditions supporting phytoplankton and macrophyte dominance overlapped and the two conditions are seen as alternative stable states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient enrichment homogenizes lake benthic assemblages at local and regional scales

TL;DR: These findings have profound implications for global aquatic biodiversity, as the homogenization of benthic assemblages at both local and regional scales may have important and unpredictable effects on whole aquatic ecosystems, with potentially considerable ecological and evolutionary consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

The alliance for freshwater life : a global call to unite efforts for freshwater biodiversity science and conservation

TL;DR: The Alliance for Freshwater Life (AFL) is a global initiative, uniting specialists in research, data synthesis, conservation, education and outreach, and policymaking as mentioned in this paper.
