TL;DR: No significant differences in any of the bacterial parameters could be detected between the three sampling sites and all measurements were found in the range reported for oligotrophic lakes, may diminish possible effects of industrial waste discharge in the pelagic zone.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used models and the reconstruction of the pH history of high altitude lakes in the Alps showed that very sensitive lakes can acidify even at low acid inputs and that climate changes can strongly interact with anthropogenic emissions of acids.

TL;DR: No differences at the community level between the three lakes could be observed and pelagic ciliates and flagellates seemed not to be affected by increased chloride concentrations or by enhanced conductivity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed changes in some main constituents of the planktic and benthic communities of five mid-Alpine lakes in the Niedere Tauern region in Austria in relation to climatic warming, by comparing community and environmental data from 1998-1999 to data from 2010-2011.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the ARDs generated in the catchments are of a long‐lasting nature and the frequency of chironomid morphological deformities was significantly higher during the Little Ice Age than during pre‐ or post‐LIA periods, suggesting that lower water temperatures may increase the adverse impacts of ARD on aquatic invertebrates.
