TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a standardized assessment of 25 532 rates of phenological change for 726 UK terrestrial, freshwater and marine taxa and trophic levels and show that the majority of spring and summer events have advanced, and more rapidly than previously documented.

TL;DR: A Climate Sensitivity Profile approach is applied to 10,003 terrestrial and aquatic phenological data sets, spatially matched to temperature and precipitation data, to quantify variation in climate sensitivity and detected systematic variation in the direction and magnitude of phenological climate sensitivity.

TL;DR: A cross-scale analysis of paired-stressor effects on biological variables of European freshwater ecosystems shows that in 39% of cases, significant effects were limited to single stressors, with nutrient enrichment being the most important of these in lakes.

TL;DR: In this article, the response of a phytoplankton community to combined incremental changes in these drivers was analysed, in order to elucidate the resulting ecological changes, and the authors predicted that cyanobacteria have the potential to dominate the community, with clear consequences for water quality, and that this dominance was at its greatest when high water temperatures were combined with high nutrient loads.

TL;DR: Long-term physical, chemical and biological data from Windermere were analysed in order to assess the relative effects of a number of coincident pressures on the phenology of two spring diatom taxa, and patterns of change in phenology and ecological pressures were markedly nonlinear in time.
