Stratification strength and light climate explain variation in chlorophyll a at...
Donis, Daphne; Mantzouki, Evanthia; McGinnis, Daniel F.; Vachon, Dominic; Gallego, Irene; Grossart, Hans-Peter; Senerpont Domis, Lisette N.To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the European continent. Multilinear regression models tested on this snapshot of mostly eutrophic lakes (median total phosphorus [TP] = 0.06 and total nitrogen [TN] = 0.7 mg L-1), and its subsets (2 depth types a...
Global patterns and predictors of microplastic occurrence and abundance in lent...
Nava, Veronica; Frezzotti, Maria Luce; Aherne, Julian; Alfonso, María B.; Geraldes, Ana Maria; Attermeyer, Katrin; Bah, Abdou R.; Bao, RobertoThe majority of microplastic research has focused on seawater, with fewer than 4% of microplasticsrelated studies occurring on freshwaters. The limited available information suggests that the abundance of microplastics in freshwaters is often as high or even higher than marine environments. However, comprehensive investigations on occurrence and fate of microplastics in freshwaters are scarce and highly fragmen...
Data descriptor: a European multi lake urvey dataset of environmental variables...
Mantzouki, Evanthia; Campbell, James; Loon, Emiel van; Visser, Petra; Konstantinou, Iosif; Antoniou, Maria G.; Giuliani, GrégoryUnder ongoing climate change and increasing anthropogenic activity, which continuously challenge ecosystem resilience, an in-depth understanding of ecological processes is urgently needed. Lakes, as providers of numerous ecosystem services, face multiple stressors that threaten their functioning. Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent problem resulting from nutrient pollution and climate-change induced ...
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial to...
Mantzouki, Evanthia; Lürling, Miquel; Fastner, Jutta; Domis, Lisette N. de Senerpont; Wilk-Woźniak, Elżbieta; Koreivienė, Judita; Seelen, LauraInsight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individ...
