Planktons are a major component of food web structure in aquatic ecosystems. Their
distribution and community structure are driven by the combination and interactions between …

The zooplankton community structure and diversity were analysed against the gradient of
floodplain lakes connectivity and water level under different flood-pulse dynamics in the …

There is still considerable debate as to whether the allochthonous (terrestrial) dissolved
organic matter (DOM) mobilised during large flow events plays an important role in …

Environmental flows are managed events in river systems designed to enhance the
ecological condition of aquatic ecosystems. Although not traditionally seen as important in …

Aquaculture has significant impacts on freshwater lakes, but plankton communities, as key
components of the microbial food web, are rarely considered when assessing the impacts of …

Water ecosystems face enormous, variable anthropogenic stressors that contribute to water
degradation. This study explores the effects of three substances frequently found in high …

Freshwater inflows play an important role in delivering dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to
estuaries. Episodic inputs of DOC may support increased bacterial production. However, the …

Blackwater events occur when returning floodwater contains elevated levels of dissolved
organic carbon. Normally the export of carbon from floodplains to a river channel is a …

Freshwater inflows play an important role in delivering dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to
estuaries. Although considerable DOC can be delivered to estuaries during episodic inflow …

Climate change, river regulation and water extraction create the conditions where
destratification-driven hypoxia will become more common in rivers. Preventing this and the …
