TL;DR: The results of physico-chemical testing of water, phytoplankton density and biomass, as well as chlorophyll-a concentration showed increased eutrophication in both reservoirs.

TL;DR: High abundance of C. raciborskii with other phytoplankton species in relation to water quality parameters correlated positively with biochemical oxygen demand and turbidity, and negatively with NO3-N concentrations during the study period.

TL;DR: In this article, the summer phytoplankton community was studied across both vertical and temporal scales in relation to environmental factors in the shallow recreational Sava Lake, and the sampling was conducted weekly at four depths from mid-July until mid-September 2014, in order to detect short-term changes within the assemblages.

TL;DR: The study demonstrates an easy method for biofilm assessment based on visual characterisation and provides encouragement for more frequent biofilm investigation in caves that can be important from an ecological, biological, biotechnological point of view and which assessment can have an irreplaceable role in potential monitoring and protection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the effect of substrate type and incubation depth on periphyton that had developed on artificial substrates and conclude that glass substrate and shallow layer of water column (up to 50 cm) for incubation should be preferred.
