Complementary analysis of satellite mission data (altimetry, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS)) and climate fields over 2000–2009 was conducted to investigate the variability of the water cover surfaces and the... more
Zeekoevlei is the largest freshwater lake in South Africa and has a century-long history of anthropogenic impact that caused hyper-eutrophic conditions. We used biomarkers (alkanes and pigments), stable isotopes (d13C and d15N), rates... more
Lake Vela is a polymictic shallow lake exhibiting some characteristics typical of an advanced trophic state, namely, the permanently turbid water, the reduction in biodiversity, and the recurrent occurrence of Cyanobacteria blooms, which... more
1. We studied the effects of increased water temperatures (0–4.5 °C) and nutrient enrichment on the stoichiometric composition of different primary producers (macrophytes, epiphytes, seston and sediment biofilm) and invertebrate consumers... more
A multi-proxy approach study (cladocerans, diatoms, geochemistry, plant macrofossils, pollen), was performed on a sediment core from Lake Vrana (Vransko Jezero), a large and deep karstic lake on the northern Adriatic island of Cres,... more
A long-term food web manipulation experiment was started in 1999 with monitoring in the eutrophic shallow Major Lake (area 11 ha, mean depth 1.1 m). In 2000, studies were continued with removal of 204 kg ha−1 of fish and restocking with... more
1. Seasonal relationships between macrophyte and phytoplankton populations may alter considerably as lakes undergo eutrophication. Understanding of these changes may be key to the interpretation of ecological processes operating over... more
1. Palaeolimnology and contemporary ecology are complementary disciplines but are rarely combined. By reviewing the literature and using a case study, we show how linking the timescales of these approaches affords a powerful means of... more
