Efficient sampling methodologies for lake littoral invertebrates in compliance with the European Water Framework Directive [PDF]
, 2015 Lake shores are characterised by a high natural variability, which is increasingly threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic disturbances including morphological alterations to the littoral zone. The European Water Framework Directive (EU WFD) calls for

Light as a limiting factor for epilithic algae in the supralittoral zone of littoral caves
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 In a littoral cave system, abiotic environmental properties, such as the intensity and spectral distribution of light, often change going from the exterior to the interior part of the cave, filtering the light and thus creating a deep-sea irradiance ...

Patterns and Variation of Littoral Habitat Size Among Lakes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 The littoral zone varies in size among lakes from ∼3% to 100% of lake surface area. In this paper, we derive a simple theoretical scaling relationship that explains this variation, and test this theory using bathymetric data across the size spectra of ...

Use of the cast net for monitoring fish status in reservoirs distributed in the Korean peninsula
Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2015 Reservoirs consist of two different environments, the littoral and the pelagic zone, and different fishing gear is commonly used in each zone—gill nets in the pelagic zone and electrofishing in the littoral zone.

The algal vegetation in the outer part of Isfjorden, Spitsbergen: revisiting Per Svendsen's sites 50 years later [PDF]
Polar Research, 2012 The benthic algal vegetation was investigated at two different sites in the outer part of Isfjorden, Svalbard, during 27–29 July 2007. One exposed site at Kapp Linné and one sheltered site in Ymerbukta were sampled both in the littoral and ...

THE RESTRUCTURING OF LITTORAL ZONES [PDF]
Lake and Reservoir Management, 1987 ABSTRACT Littoral zones are centers of community life in shallow lakes and reservoirs. Invertebrates and young fishes forage and seek cover among the bottom and plant habitats found inshore. Because boaters and swimmers scorn dense vegetation, lake shallows are defoliated with chemical herbicides or mechanical harvesters.

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017 Riparian forests are known as important source of allochthonous organic matter entering to water ecosystems via fallen leaves. However, leaf litter, depending on their quality, may create different conditions for benthic microorganisms functioning in ...

Between tide and wave marks: a unifying model of physical zonation on littoral shores [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 The effects of tides on littoral marine habitats are so ubiquitous that shorelines are commonly described as ‘intertidal’, whereas waves are considered a secondary factor that simply modifies the intertidal habitat.

Zooplankton in littoral waters of a tropical lake: a revisited biodiversity
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe present study was carried out in Lake Dom Helvécio, in the state of Minas Gerais, with two main objectives: to demonstrate the contribution of the littoral zone, in order to better characterize zooplankton fauna; and to assess the distribution of ...
