Effects of water temperature on summer periphyton biomass in shallow lakes: a pan-European mesocosm experiment [PDF]
, 2015 Periphyton communities play an important role in shallow lakes and are controlled by direct forces such as temperature, light, nutrients, and invertebrate grazing, but also indirectly by planktivorous fish predation.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Periphyton has important ecological functions. It can even exist in environments with strong ultraviolet radiation. However, knowledge of periphyton under ultraviolet is limited, which limits the understanding and application of periphyton in ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The conversion of mercury (Hg) to monomethylmercury (MMHg) is a critical area of concern in global Hg cycling. Periphyton biofilms may harbor significant amounts of MMHg but little is known about the Hg-methylating potential of the periphyton microbiome.

Combined stable isotope and gut contents analysis of food webs in plant-dominated, shallow lakes [PDF]
, 2003 1. To determine feeding links between primary producers, invertebrates and fish, stable isotope analyses and gut content analyses of fish were conducted on the components of four shallow, eutrophic to hypertrophic, plant-dominated lakes. 2.

Comparative algological and bacteriological examinations on biofilms developed on different substrata in a shallow soda lake [PDF]
, 2008 According to the European Water Framework Directives, benthic diatoms of lakes are a tool for ecological status assessment. In this study, we followed an integrative sample analysis approach, in order to find an appropriate substratum for the water ...

Sensitivity of freshwater periphytic diatoms to agricultural herbicides [PDF]
, 2009 The biomonitoring of pesticide pollution in streams and rivers using algae such as diatoms remains difficult. The responses of diatomcommunities to toxic stress in streamwater are disturbed by the variations of environmental parameters.
