Compared to research on eutrophication in lakes, there has been significantly less work
carried out on rivers despite the importance of the topic. However, over the last decade …

Freshwater ecosystems are confronted with the effects of climate change. One of the major
changes is an increased concentration of aquatic carbon. Macrophytes are important in the …

Submerged macrophytes play a key role in north temperate shallow lakes by stabilizing
clear-water conditions. Eutrophication has resulted in macrophyte loss and shifts to turbid …

Dispersal is one of the key mechanisms affecting the distribution of individuals, populations,
and communities in nature. Despite advances in the study of single species, it has been …

Recent research studies have highlighted the decrease in the coverage of Mediterranean
seagrasses due to mainly anthropogenic activities. The lack of data on the distribution of …

Submerged macrophytes can have a profound effect on shallow lake ecosystems through
their ability to modify the thermal structure and dissolved oxygen levels within the lake …

Macrophyte assemblages are composed of species with different life forms and various
ecological functions. Our aim was to investigate the potential environmental determinants of …

The response of seagrass systems to a severe disturbance provides an opportunity to
quantify the degree of resilience in different meadows, and subsequently to test whether …

The persistence of species may depend upon their capacity to keep pace with climate
change. However, dispersal has been ignored in the vast majority of studies that aimed at …

Globally, geodiversity and the associated ecosystem services it provides, are both under
threat from anthropogenic pressures and environmental changes. The UNESCO Global …
