Comment: Food web interactions and biomanipulation in Australian reservoirs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The authors have been studying the control of phytoplankton biomass in several Australian reservoirs. To manipulate fish communities in order to reduce phytoplankton biomass, one needs a thorough understanding of processes in the plankton-associated food

Settlement of Macoma balthica larvae in response to benthic diatom films [PDF]

open access: yes
The role of multi-species benthic diatom films (BDF) in the settlement of late pediveliger larvae of the bivalve Macoma balthica was investigated in still-water bioassays and multiple choice flume experiments.

Seasonal changes in the biochemical fate of carbon fixed by benthic diatoms in intertidal sediments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Benthic diatoms are important primary producers in intertidal marine sediments and form the basis of the food web in these ecosystems. In order to investigate the carbon flow within diatom mats, we performed in situ 13C pulse-chase labeling experiments ...

Water physical and chemical properties override urbanization in shaping diatom taxonomic and functional diversity in urban ponds

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Urban ponds are increasingly exposed to both local environmental changes and regional urbanization pressures, which threaten aquatic biodiversity, making it urgent to understand drivers of freshwater biodiversity for effective conservation and biomonitoring.

Dominance and compensatory growth in phytoplankton communities under salinity stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Increasing levels of environmental stress due to global warming and eutrophication, and concerns about an unparalleled global diversity loss, have triggered new interest in the question whether the stability of ecosystem properties depends on population ...

Biodiversity and soil type modulate the effect of plastic contamination on soil functioning

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings show that the negative effects of plastic contamination on soil functioning strongly depend on soil type and can be partly alleviated by plant diversity. In sandy soils, diverse plant communities buffered functional losses under plastic stress, whereas in clayey soils the benefits of diversity were suppressed.

Fitoplancton de una laguna pampásica (San Miguel del Monte, Buenos Aires, Argentina)

open access: yesBiología Acuática, 2019
Phytoplankton assemblages were analyzed taking into account the functional groups in a shallow lake connected to the lower basin of Salado River. Samples were obtained monthly (9/1997-8/1998), from the affluent (E1), San Miguel del Monte lake (E2) and ...

Strength and uncertainty of phytoplankton metrics for assessing eutrophication impacts in lakes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Phytoplankton constitutes a diverse array of short-lived organisms which derive their nutrients from the water column of lakes. These features make this community the most direct and earliest indicator of the impacts of changing nutrient conditions on ...

Seasonal Environmental Conditions and River Morphology Shape Summer Phytoplankton Communities

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytoplankton form the base of large river food webs, but there are limited studies on the nature and drivers of communities over longer time scales. Further, climate change is projected to favour taxa associated with harmful algal blooms, but our knowledge of the timing, locations and drivers of cyanobacteria in rivers lags that of lakes and ...

Algal Blooms in Lakes Increase After Wildfire Smoke Events in the Contiguous United States

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Temporary pulses of surface chlorophyll‐a are identified following wildfire smoke events in lakes and reservoirs across the United States. ABSTRACT Area burned by wildfire has increased in the contiguous United States and in many places globally in recent years, impacting communities and ecosystems nearby and even far downwind of fires. We examined the
