TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined 35 long-term (5-35 years, mean: 16 years) lake re-oligotrophication studies and found that external total phosphorus loading resulted in lower in-lake TP concentration, lower chlorophyll a (chl a) concentration and higher Secchi depth in most lakes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found a hierarchical structure in the community assemblage using distinct scales of lake clustering (number of k-means groups) based on species composition similarity (Hellinger distance).

TL;DR: The results suggest that, although dispersal limitation might affect species composition in some regions, aquatic plant and cladoceran communities are not generally limited by dispersal at the regional scale (up to 300 km).

TL;DR: Empirical studies on ecological factors known or expected to influence species richness in zooplankton communities of inland lakes are reviewed to evaluate whether the expected effects of dispersal are likely to be detected on a background of large variability caused by other ecological factors and interactions.
