TL;DR: An overview of 297 assessment methods for the status of European surface waters is presented, based on a questionnaire survey addressing authorities in all countries implementing the WFD, and the strength of relationships differed significantly between organism groups and water categories.

TL;DR: In this article, the main biodiversity patterns and ecological features, human impacts on the system and environmental issues, and discuss ways to use this information to improve stewardship are identified, and the authors consider all main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh).

TL;DR: In this article, the maximum potential capacity of cyanobacteria in relation to total phosphorus (TP) and the use of a range of quantile responses, alongside World Health Organisation (WHO) health alert thresholds for recreational waters, for setting robust phosphorus targets for lake management in relation with water use.

TL;DR: This paper synthesises the recommendations from this event highlighting 10 priority issues relating to ecological status, including the need for more functional bioassessment tools as complements to usual WFD-compliant tools, and to connect clearly good ecological state, biodiversity and ecosystem services when implementing WFD.

TL;DR: Two methods to classify macrophyte species and their response to eutrophication pressure are tested: one based on percentiles of occurrence along a phosphorous gradient and another based on trophic ranking of species using Canonical Correspondence Analyses in the ranking procedure.
