The phytoplankton of an enriched, soft-water lakel subject to intermittent hydraulic flushing (Grasmere, English Lake District) [PDF]
, 1982 This paper describes some characteristic features of the phytoplankton of Grasmere, one of the smaller of the principal lakes of the English Lake District, and attempts to relate these to distinctive physical and chemical properties of the lake ...

Measuring Peripheral Tissue DHA Turnover Using a Novel 13C Enrichment Technique
Lipids, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recently, through the use of compound‐specific isotope analysis (CSIA), our lab validated the utility of 13C enrichment (δ13C) of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by using a very high δ13C in a diet switch study by measuring brain, liver, and plasma DHA turnover and half‐lives via high‐precision gas chromatography combustion isotope ratio mass ...

Nutrient enrichment—but not warming—increases nitrous oxide emissions from shallow lake mesocosms
Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Shallow lakes and ponds play a crucial role in the processing of carbon and other nutrients. However, many lakes and ponds worldwide are affected by climate change and nutrient pollution. How these pressures affect the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) is unclear.

Effects of climate on size structure and functioning of aquatic food webs [PDF]
, 2010 In aquatic food webs, the role of body size is notoriously strong. It is also well known that temperature has an effect on body size. For instance, Bergmann’s rule states that body size increases from warm to cold climates.

Comparison of bacterioneuston and bacterioplankton dynamics during a phytoplankton bloom in a fjord mesocosm [PDF]
, 2009 The bacterioneuston is the community of Bacteria present in surface microlayers, the thin surface film that forms the interface between aquatic environments and the atmosphere. In this study we compared bacterial cell abundance and bacterial community

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change is projected to cause elevated precipitation in northern Europe, leading to increased runoff of terrestrial matter to coastal areas. The consequences for food web production and ecosystem function remain unclear. A mesocosm experiment was performed to investigate the impacts of elevated terrestrial matter input, using a natural ...
