TL;DR: This is the first global quantitative synthesis on under-ice lake ecology, including 36 abiotic and biotic variables from 42 research groups and 101 lakes, examining seasonal differences and connections as well as how seasonal differences vary with geophysical factors.

TL;DR: The results of this study show that several zooplankton parameters are among the biological quality elements (BQE) deserving to be included in the Water Frame Directive system.

TL;DR: The fish kill in lake Peipsi (Estonia/Russia) during the extraordinarily hot summer of 2010 evoked an investigation into the effects of environmental extremes and long-term eutrophication on the fish community of the lake as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A range of factors, the authors believe, control plant behaviour, however, it is suggested that environmental stress is the principal factor inducing dormancy.

TL;DR: An overview of long-term changes in the floristic composition and growth areas in L. Peipsi that have occurred since the 1960s and a list of plant taxa containing 140 species of higher plants and 4 charophytes is presented.
