Altered greenhouse gas emissions in shallow lakes invaded by common carp (Cyprinus carpio)
Abstract Species invasions are among the most important environmental problems facing freshwater ecosystems this century, contributing to biodiversity loss and changes in ecosystem function. Freshwater lakes are an important component of the global carbon cycle and a key source of atmospheric greenhouse gases, yet the consequences of species invasions ...

Simple relationships to predict attributes of fish assemblages in patches of submerged macrophytes
Submerged macrophytes play an important role in structuring habitats and, therefore, in determining patterns of aquatic biodiversity. Because these plants are widespread in shallow areas of many Neotropical reservoirs, the present work investigated if ...

Species richness and beta-diversity of aquatic macrophytes assemblages in three floodplain tropical lagoons: evaluating the effects of sampling size and depth gradients [PDF]
Using aquatic macrophyte data gathered in three lagoons of the Paraná River floodplain we showed a strong effect of sample size on species richness. Incidence-based species richness estimators (Chao 2, jackknife 1, jackknife 2, incidence-based coverage ...

A Cognitive Model of an Epistemic Community: Mapping the Dynamics of Shallow Lake Ecosystems [PDF]
We used fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) to develop a generic shallow lake ecosystem model by augmenting the individual cognitive maps drawn by 8 scientists working in the area of shallow lake ecology.

Our framework links policy targets (achieving good ecological status) and actions (nutrient emission reductions) to realized biodiversity benefits. The approach also supports the optimal placement of monitoring sites under different nutrient abatement scenarios.

Leachates and elemental ratios of macrophytes and benthic algae of an Andean high altitude wetland
In wetlands, macrophytes and filamentous algae constitute an important carbon source for the total content of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) of the environment.

Submerged Macrophyte Restoration Differentiation for a Waterfront Body [PDF]
The Inner Lake is a typical tide-influenced waterfront body in Eastern China. Series of environmental factors of the lake changed frequently and extensively due to its location. Regulating the water exchange for an improved living condition to restore macrophyte is very important to establish a healthy ecosystem.

Ecosystems can occupy alternative stable states, maintained by positive feedbacks and critical thresholds. Recovery is often nonlinear, making simple driver reversal insufficient. Effective restoration should target critical thresholds, disrupt degradation‐reinforcing feedbacks and strengthen recovery‐promoting feedbacks.

Fish and macroinvertebrates in lowland drainage canals with and without grass carp [PDF]
Diploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella L.) were introduced to a lowland Waikato drainage canal at an initial density of 40-80 kg ha -1(83-167 fish ha -1) to control aquatic macrophytes and improve water flow.

Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.
