Rethinking the lake trophic state index [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Lake trophic state classifications provide information about the condition of lentic ecosystems and are indicative of both ecosystem services (e.g., clean water, recreational opportunities, and aesthetics) and disservices (e.g., cyanobacteria blooms ...

Assessment of the trophic state of the Soła River dam cascade, Polish Carpathians: a comparison of the methodology [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The aim of this research was to determine the trophic state of mountain dam reservoirs, which are characterized by greater hydrological and ecological dynamics than lowland reservoirs.

Resilience to changes in lake trophic state: Nutrient allocation into Daphnia resting eggs [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 During past decades, many lakes underwent drastic human‐caused changes in trophic state with strong implications for population dynamics and food web processes.

Modeling lake trophic state: a random forest approach [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2016 Productivity of lentic ecosystems is well studied, and it is widely accepted that as nutrient inputs increase, productivity increases and lakes transition from lower trophic state (e.g., oligotrophic) to higher trophic states (e.g., eutrophic).

Phytoplankton alpha diversity indices response the trophic state variation in hydrologically connected aquatic habitats in the Harbin Section of the Songhua River [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 The relationship between biodiversity and ecological functioning is a central issue in freshwater ecology, but how this relationship is influenced by hydrological connectivity stress is still unknown.

Trophic state assessment of optically diverse lakes using Sentinel-3-derived trophic level index
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022 An accurate estimation of trophic state of lakes with satellite remote sensing is a challenge due to the optical complexity and variability associated with inland waters. Match-up data from 393 sampling stations that has concurrent Sentinel-3 OLCI images

Trophic assessment of four tropical reservoirs using phytoplankton genera
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2022 : Aim Monitoring the trophic state of reservoirs requires indices that provide a quick report of the ecosystem to decision makers. This study aimed to develop a system of trophic status indicators for tropical mountain reservoirs using phytoplankton ...
