Diatoms, a unique group of algae colonising a wide range of aquatic habitats and
contributing to human well-being in many ways. We list and summarise these services using …

There is hardly any sunshine exposed surface on this Earth, be it water or terrain, which
would not support some biota. Still, many habitats offer harsh conditions requiring …

Both natural and anthropogenic processes can lead to the increasing salinity of surface
waters. The knowledge about the ecological consequences of salinization on the biota is …

Salinization is one of the main global environmental issues of the Anthropocene with various
consequences for aquatic ecosystems. To understand diatom ecology and evolution from …

Picocystis salinarum is a globally widespread picoplanktonic green alga of saline lakes. This
tiny alga has been recorded in four continents, and in some cases, it has become the …

The adverse effect of barge movement on the river's aquatic ecosystem is of global concern.
The phytoplankton community, a bioindicator, is possibly the foremost victim of the barge …

Abstract Study region Lake Velence. Study focus Soda lakes are extreme habitats whose
special hydrochemical characteristics can partly be explained by groundwater inflow. The …

Nutrient enrichment commonly promotes phytoplankton biomass, while the presence of
macrophytes can mitigate the promotion effects of nutrient loading. However, the existing …

Nowadays, when aquatic habitats are threatened by human and climatic disturbances
leading to reductions in biodiversity and ecosystem functions, the study of the abundance …

Dryland river systems support a diverse aquatic biota in semi-arid and arid landscapes, but
they are increasingly vulnerable to natural and human impacts. This study provides the first …
