Re-Establishment Techniques and Transplantations of Charophytes to Support Threatened Species

Plants, 2021
Re-establishment of submerged macrophytes and especially charophyte vegetation is a common aim in lake management. If revegetation does not happen spontaneously, transplantations may be a suitable option.

A unique sessile loricate euglenid, Lepocinclis loricata sp. nov. (Euglenophyta, Phacaceae), from South Africa: Evolutionary implications

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we describe Lepocinclis loricata sp. nov. (Phacaceae), a sessile loricate euglenid that differs from all known loricate taxa by its unique combination of the presence of a lorica, monad morphology, sessile habit, and phylogenetic position within the Phacaceae. Populations of this species inhabit two turbid, silt‐rich waterbodies,

Evidence on Night Movements of Macroinvertebrates to Macrophytes in a Pampean Stream [PDF]

, 2014
Nocturnal invertebrate abundance peaks in lotic systems are usually associated to drift, however, diel migrations other than drift may be important in slow-flowing systems.

Vegetation trajectories over 150 years of temporary ponds created in the Camargue delta (Southern France)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Temporary ponds in the Mediterranean climate have a high conservation value, but many have been severely destroyed or degraded. Pond restoration and new pond creation have been engaged widely. Evaluations of the success of such operations are generally carried out over 10–15 years and show divergent results over this timeframe. In

Nutrients and warm temperatures explain a seasonal cycle of colonization and ecosystem collapse in a floodplain pond

Ecosphere
Resilient ecosystems maintain similar species diversity and composition despite extreme environmental variation, while ecosystem collapse can be characterized by high mortality rates and decreased species diversity.

Ranunculus calcareus and its role in lowland streams [PDF]

, 1979
Ranunculus calcareus , a species of water crowfoot which occurs in clear, nutrient-rich chalk streams, was studied. Seasonal changes in its biomass, its annual production and its fragmentation (leading to downstream movement of the plant) were ...

Effects of restoration on macrophyte and macroinvertebrate ecological status and biodiversity in lowland streams in Denmark

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat restoration is applied to promote ecological recovery in degraded freshwater systems. However, it remains unclear whether stream restoration measures enhance Water Framework Directive (WFD) ecological status and biodiversity.

Quantifying measures to limit wind driven resuspension of sediments for improvement of the ecological quality in some shallow Dutch lakes [PDF]

, 2012
Although phosphorus loadings are considered the main pressure for most shallow lakes, wind-driven resuspension can cause additional problems for these aquatic ecosystems. We quantified the potential effectiveness of measures to reduce the contribution of

MISS diversity from saline lakes of Brazilian Pantanal: Origin, potential of preservation and comparison with examples of the Ediacaran‐Cambrian shallow depositional settings

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

Aquatic ecosystem responds differently to press and pulse nutrient disturbances as revealed by a microcosm experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Due to climate change and increasing anthropogenic activities, lakes are disturbed frequently, usually by press (e.g., diffused pollution, rising temperatures) or pulse (e.g., storms, rainfall, pollution events) disturbances.
