Authigenic minerals can form in the water column and sediments of lakes, either abiotically
or mediated by biological activity. Such minerals have been used as paleosalinity and …

We discuss a simplified mathematical model for alpine lake ecosystems, describing the
summer (ie ice-free period) dynamics of phosphorus, phytoplankton, three zooplankton …

Boreal headwater streams typically receive large contributions of dissolved organic matter
(DOM) from wetland and forest soils and can exhibit high CO2 effluxes, but little is known …

An analytical setup for respiration rate measurements was developed and evaluated in
pelagic water samples using a commercially available optical oxygen sensor (Optode™) …

Two adjacent bays in a large oligotrophic lake (Georgian Bay, Lake Huron) were compared
to determine how the inputs from relatively pristine, but moderately humic, tributaries may …

We investigated how the source and composition of stream dissolved organic matter (DOM)
influenced rates of benthic bacterial C production (BCP) in 20 forested, headwater streams …

Macrophytes are important sources of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to littoral zones of
lakes, but this DOC is believed to be mostly refractory to bacteria, leading to the hypothesis …

The spread of invasive species through ships' ballast water is considered as a major
ecological threat to the world's oceans. For that reason, the International Maritime …

The effects of viral lysis and heterotrophic nanoflagellate grazing (top down forces) on
prokaryotic mortality and their subsequent impact on their metabolism were estimated in the …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a fundamental role in the ecology of aquatic systems.
Our current understanding of the DOC dynamic in fluvial systems, however, is mostly based …
