The relevance of considering environmental variability for understanding and predicting
biological responses to environmental changes has resulted in a recent surge in variability …

The ubiquitous presence of microplastics (MP) in aquatic ecosystems can affect organisms
and communities in multiple ways. While MP research on aquatic organisms has primarily …

Submerged macrophytes are of key importance for the structure and functioning of shallow
lakes and can be decisive for maintaining them in a clear water state. The ongoing climate …

Phytoplankton usually responds directly and fast to environmental fluctuations, making them
useful indicators of lake ecosystem changes caused by various stressors. Here, we …

A first synoptic and trans-domain overview of plankton dynamics was conducted across the
aquatic sites belonging to the Italian Long-Term Ecological Research Network (LTER-Italy) …

In shallow lakes, pelagic and benthic producers engage in spatially asymmetrical resource
competition. Pelagic producers intercept the flux of light to the benthic habitat and benthic …

Extreme precipitation is occurring with greater frequency and intensity as a result of climate
change. Such events boost the transport of allochthonous organic matter (allo-OM) to …

Lakes are known to be strongly affected by climate change as a result of their sensitivity to
atmospheric forcing. The combined response of urban lakes to climatic changes and to …

Waters provide essential needs both for human societies as well as natural ecosystems.
Floating solar PV (FPV) applications on water bodies are currently in strong demand …

Climate change threatens surface waters worldwide, especially shallow lakes where one of
the expected consequences is a sharp increase in their water temperatures. Phytobenthos is …
