Floating plant dominance as a stable state
Marten Scheffer,Sandor Szabo,Alessandra Gragnani,Egbert H. van Nes,Sergio Rinaldi,Nils Kautsky,Jon Norberg,R.M.M. Roijackers,Rob J. M. Franken +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that floating-plant dominance can be a self-stabilizing ecosystem state, which may explain its notorious persistence in many situations and suggest that nutrient enrichment reduces the resilience of freshwater systems against a shift to floating- plant dominance.
Journal ArticleDOI

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
Biological, chemical and physical characteristics of downwelling and upwelling zones in the hyporheic zone of a north-temperate stream
TL;DR: In this paper, the downwelling and upwelling zones of a single riffle in the Speed River, Southern Ontario, Canada, were analyzed for the characteristics of the hyporheic water, bacterial density, protein content, detritus content and faunal composition of the sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of shredders on leaf litter biofilms: the effect of light intensity
Rob J. M. Franken,Beata Waluto,Edwin T. H. M. Peeters,Jean J. P. Gardeniers,John A. J. Beijer,Marten Scheffer +5 more
TL;DR: Algae can be an important component of the nutritional value of the leaf-biofilm for benthic invertebrates, directly as an additional food source and indirectly through a link with bacteria and/or fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of chydorids (Branchiopoda, Anomopoda) in European shallow lakes and its application to ecological quality monitoring
E de Eyto,Kenneth Irvine,Francisco García-Criado,Mikael Gyllström,E Jeppensen,Ryszard Kornijów,Maria Rosa Miracle,Mirva Nykänen,C Bareiss,Slawek Cerbin,Jaana Salujõe,Rob J. M. Franken,D Stephens,Brian Moss +13 more
TL;DR: Important typological factors affecting chydorid distribution are identified, and patterns of chydOrid distribution previously reported from regional studies hold true across Europe.
