I review the technology and application of free-water surface flow (FWS), macrophyte-
dominated constructed treatment wetlands (CTWs) for pollutant removal. FWS-CTWs are …

Phosphorus is a water pollutant of concern around the world as it limits the productivity of
most freshwater systems which can undergo eutrophication under high phosphorus inputs …

Positive feedback is key to producing alternative stable states and largely determines
ecological resilience in response to external perturbations. Understanding the positive …

During the past hundred years, the Lake Taihu basin has been greatly impacted by human
interventions. The undesirable changes in water quality of lakes, presumably caused by the …

Multiple stressors to a shallow lake ecosystem have the ability to control the relative stability
of alternative states (clear, macrophyte‐dominated or turbid, algal‐dominated). As a …

Wetlands are widely recognized as nutrient sinks for their ability to remove nutrients in runoff
and retain them in soils. This is a valuable service, especially in agricultural watersheds …

Carbon cycling in shallow floodplain lakes is complex due to variability in delivery of flood-
derived allochthonous organic matter (OM). Human activities have potential to significantly …

We explored the potential for using Pediastrum (Meyen), a genus of green alga commonly
found in palaeoecological studies, as a proxy for lake-level change in tropical South …

We used elemental carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and hydrogen ratios (C/N, N/P and H/C)
with total organic carbon (TOC) and total phosphorus (TP) as well as stable carbon and …

Shallow lakes have been described as existing in two alternative equilibrium states,
dominated by either submerged plants or phytoplankton. Causes of, often catastrophic, shifts …
