Efficient sampling methodologies for lake littoral invertebrates in compliance with the European Water Framework Directive [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Investigating periphyton biofilm response to changing phosphorus concentrations in UK rivers using within-river flumes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The excessive growth of benthic algal biofilms in UK rivers is a widespread problem, resulting in loss of plant communities and wider ecological damage.

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Hydrology drives facilitative and competitive strategies in freshwater macrophyte and microbial communities

open access: yesEcosphere
Pulses of resource availability along environmental gradients can filter the local and regional distribution of macrophyte and microbial mat communities in wetlands. Wetlands that experience short hydroperiods (i.e.,

THE PERMISSIBLE INPUT OF BIOGENIC ELEMENTS TO WATER BODIES WITH SLOWED AND MODERATE WATER EXCHANGE

open access: yesВодное хозяйство России: проблемы, технологии, управление, 2020
The article presents the outputs of researches on determination of permissible input of biogenic matter to water bodies with different types of moderate and slowed water exchange: that is phytoplankton, phytoplankton/macrophyte, and macrophyte types. We

Modelling fixed plant and algal dynamics in rivers: an application to the River Frome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The development of eutrophication in river systems is poorly understood given the complex relationship between fixed plants, algae, hydrodynamics, water chemistry and solar radiation.

Nutrient composition and heavy metal accumulation in water hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms] and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes L.) from the Dande River, Nepal: Implications for use as alternative feed resources

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The proliferation of invasive aquatic macrophytes poses a significant ecological challenge globally, while many tropical regions face chronic shortages of affordable livestock feed. This study addresses this dual problem by assessing two invasive species, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) and water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes ...

Les macrophytes sont-ils de bons candidats pour l'évaluation du succès d'une restauration ? L'exemple des anciens bras du Rhin reconnectés

open access: yesSciences, Eaux & Territoires, 2014
Des opérations de restauration dans la plaine d'Alsace ont conduit à reconnecter d'anciens bras latéraux du Rhin au cours principal. Les communautés végétales aquatiques sont utilisées comme indicateurs du succès de l'opération. Afin de tester cet outil,

Genetic diversity and population structure of a rare and endangered freshwater macrophyte Potamogeton rutilus Wolfg.

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2023
Comprehending genetic variation and population structure is paramount for devising optimal management strategies and conservation efforts. In this study, we employed amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to assess the distribution of ...

Quantifying temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions in lake mesocosms: Deployment of a low‐cost measurement system

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from freshwater ecosystems contribute significantly to global carbon budgets, yet they remain poorly constrained due to limited high‐frequency measurements. We tested a low‐cost, high‐frequency GHG measurement system in a long‐term mesocosm experiment in Lemming, Denmark, over a 7‐month period, focusing on CO2 ...
