This review summarizes current knowledge on mechanical (artificial mixing, hypolimnetic
aeration, dredging, and sonication) and biological (biomanipulation, macrophytes, and …

Broad-scale studies of species distributions and diversity have contributed to the emergence
of general macroecological rules. These rules are typically founded on research using well …

Aim We studied global variation in beta diversity patterns of lake macrophytes using regional
data from across the world. Specifically, we examined (1) how beta diversity of aquatic …

Intense sand and gravel mining has created numerous man-made lakes around the world in
the past century. These small quarry lakes (1–50 ha) are usually hydrologically isolated …

We studied community–environment relationships of lake macrophytes at two
metacommunity scales using data from 16 regions across the world. More specifically, we …

River basins are extremely complex hierarchical and directional systems that are affected by
a multitude of interacting stressors. This complexity hampers effective management and …

Questions Are community composition and species richness of aquatic macrophytes
determined primarily by local (habitat heterogeneity and water quality) or regional (climate) …

Macrophyte assemblages are composed of species with different life forms and various
ecological functions. Our aim was to investigate the potential environmental determinants of …

Lake Taihu, the third largest lake in China, is subjected to severe eutrophication and
cyanobacterial blooms as a result of development and urbanization. In order to restore the …

Data on aquatic and emergent vegetation, morphology and water quality from 274 Polish
lowland lakes surveyed in the years 1996–2009 were used to validate the preliminary …
