Understanding the factors that affect water quality and the ecological services provided by
freshwater ecosystems is an urgent global environmental issue. Predicting how water quality …

Elevated allochthonous inputs of organic matter are increasingly recognized as a driver of
ecosystem change in lakes, particularly when concurrent with eutrophication. Evaluation of …

Secchi depth (SD), a primary metric to assess trophic state, is controlled in many lakes by
algal densities, measured as chlorophyll‐a (chl‐a) concentration. Two other optically related …

In northern lakes, which are often stained and productive, the impacts of dissolved organic
carbon (DOC) on sediment phosphorus (P) release are largely unexplored. Here we …

Water quality degradation is one of the largest threats to freshwater ecosystems. Nutrient
inputs, land use changes, and climate are expected to be the most important drivers of water …

The aquatic macrophytes are widely used to indicate the trophic status of water bodies. For
Ukrainian water bodies, which represent a wide ecological diversity, the indicator scales of …

A variety of classification approaches are used to facilitate understanding, prediction,
monitoring, and the management of lakes. However, broad‐scale applicability of current …

Primary production in freshwater ecosystems is largely a function of light and nutrient
availability, both of which have been changing in many lakes and reservoirs in response to …

Downscaling Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration derived from satellite image is crucial for
refined applications such as water quality monitoring. However, the precision of …

Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) theory has largely focused on species richness,
although studies have demonstrated that evenness may have stronger effects. While theory …
