Increased anoxia following species invasion of a eutrophic lake
Limnology and Oceanography LettersSpecies invasions can disrupt aquatic ecosystems by re‐wiring food webs. A trophic cascade triggered by the invasion of the predatory zooplankter spiny water flea (Bythotrephes cederströmii) resulted in increased phytoplankton due to decreased ...

Ecological relationships between phytoplankton communities at different spatial scales in European reservoirs: implications at catchment level monitoring programmes. [PDF]
, 2009 Phytoplankton communities are structured by factors acting over temporal and spatial scales. Identifying which factors are driving spatial patterns in aquatic communities is the central aim of ecology.

Temporal and spatial variations in phytoplankton productivity in surface waters of a warm-temperate, monomictic lake in New Zealand [PDF]
, 2010 Surface phytoplankton productivity measurements were carried out in morphologically complex Lake Rotoiti with the objective of defining variations between sites and seasons, and the dominant environmental drivers of these variations.

Phytoplankton induced changes of air bubble residence time in seawater [PDF]
, 2005 Air bubbles in the ocean, naturally induced by breaking waves or artificially entrained by ships, remain in the water for different periods of time. Knowledge of the factors accounting for the differences in air bubble residence time (BRT) is essential ...

Evaluating a multispectral miniaturised fluorometer with three excitation channels for predicting phytoplankton community structure indices from BGC-Argo float observations [PDF]
BiogeosciencesPhytoplankton community composition is a key determinant of ocean biogeochemical cycles, yet its observation from autonomous platforms remains challenging. In this study, we assessed the potential of in situ multispectral excitation fluorescence (MXF) to

Environmental variables and plankton communities in the pelagic of lakes: enclosure experiment and comparative lake survey [PDF]
, 2005 Most primary production of lakes and oceans occurs in the well-mixed surface layer that is subject to strong seasonal and geographical variation. With increasing mixed surface layer depth average light supply and specific nutrient supply decrease and so ...
