zooplankton community of the large, eutrophic, cyanobacteria-dominated Lake Peipsi …

Two-year comparison of methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) fluxes from different
habitat zones in Lake Võrtsjärv revealed strong zonal, seasonal and annual variabilities. On …

The influence of functional group specific production and respiration patterns on a lake's

To study the role of large and shallow hemiboreal lakes in carbon processing, we calculated
a 3-year carbon mass balance for Lake Võrtsjärv (Estonia) based on in situ measurements …

Lake Vortsjarv (270 km2) in Central Estonia is the second largest lake in the Baltic countries.
It is a shallow and turbid eutrophic lake with a mean depth of 2.7 m and maximum depth of 6 …

Our aim was to find out to which extent fossil phytoplankton pigments in the large shallow
