TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cyanobacterial biomass has declined in some managed lakes with reduced nutrient influx, and the larger spatio-temporal scale of sedimentary records show continued increases in cyanobacteria throughout the north temperate-subarctic regions.

TL;DR: Using a set of criteria designed to identify realistic and achievable research goals, questions were selected from a pool submitted by the international palaeoecology research community and relevant policy practitioners to highlight its potential for addressing both pure and applied issues related to ecological science and global change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the Em flux framework to demonstrate that climate variability regulates lake structure and function over diverse temporal and spatial scales through four main pathways: rapid direct transfer of E to the lake surface by irradiance, heat, and wind; slow indirect effects of E via changes in terrestrial development and subsequent m subsidies to lakes; direct influx of m as precipitation, particles, and solutes from the atmosphere; and indirect influx of water, suspended particles, from the catchment.

TL;DR: Twenty-four lake basins formed in glacial drift ranged in maximum depth from 1.5 to 3 1 m and were characterized by generally low inorganic N concentrations and very high total P concentrations, demonstrating no significant relationships between mean growth season chlorophyll a concentration and any measured chemical, morphometric, or zooplankton variable.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative importance of changes in total phosphorus (diatom inferred), planktivorous fish density (zooplankton inferred), and submerged macrophyte communities (as macrofossil abundance) as determinants of algal abundance and community composition over ecosystem state transitions since 1750 (CE) for Lake Lading and 1900 for Lake Sobygaard.
