The biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationship is central in community ecology.
Its drivers in competitive systems (sampling effect and functional complementarity) are …

There remains no consensus on the effects of changes in the environment factors under the
action of water diversions on phytoplankton communities. Herein the changing rules …

Understanding how ecosystems will respond to climate changes requires unravelling the
network of functional responses and feedbacks among biodiversity, physicochemical …

Variation in hydrological connectivity (HC) between rivers and lakes gives rise to periodic
large water level fluctuation (WLF) in river-connected lakes (RCL). However, how WLF …

Biodiversity has been shown to increase the temporal stability of community and ecosystem
attributes through multiple mechanisms, but these same mechanisms make less consistent …

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is a central issue in
ecology, but how this relationship is affected by nutrient stress is still unknown. In this study …

Phytoplankton are aquatic, microscopically small primary producers, accounting for almost
half of the worldwide carbon fixation. As early indicators of environmental change, they play …

Phytoplankton in the ocean are extremely diverse. The abundance of various intracellular
pigments are often used to study phytoplankton physiology and ecology, and identify and …

We compared several measures of quality for biomass and biocrude oil produced via
hydrothermal liquefaction for monocultures and polycultures of the freshwater microalgae …

Algae-derived biocrude oil is a possible renewable energy alternative to fossil fuel based
crude oil. Outdoor cultivation in raceway ponds is estimated to provide a better return on …
