Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Is atmospheric phosphorus pollution altering global alpine Lake stoichiometry?
Anthropogenic activities have significantly altered atmospheric chemistry and changed the
global mobility of key macronutrients. Here we show that contemporary global patterns in …

Atmospheric phosphorus deposition may cause lakes to revert from phosphorus limitation back to nitrogen limitation
L Camarero, J Catalan - Nature communications, 2012 - nature.com
Recent findings indicate that increased atmospheric deposition of nitrogen of human origin
has caused changes in the pattern of ecological nutrient limitation in lakes in the northern …

The importance of dispersal related and local factors in shaping the taxonomic structure of diatom metacommunities
To date, little is known about the relative importance of dispersal related versus local factors
in shaping microbial metacommunities. A common criticism regarding existing datasets is …

Chrysophyte cysts from lake sediments reveal the submillennial winter/spring climate variability in the northwestern Mediterranean region throughout the Holocene
In the last decade, much effort was dedicated to the reconstruction of past climate at high
temporal resolution. Here, we show the suitability of chrysophyte cysts from lake sediments …

Regionalisation of chemical variability in European mountain lakes
We carried out a coordinated survey of mountain lakes covering the main ranges across
Europe (including Greenland), sampling 379 lakes above the local tree line in 2000. The …
