Introduction to European Lake

Here, we evaluated 50 years of observational data, from 1966 to 2015, for ten European lakes to quantify changes in the annual maximum surface temperature and the duration above a potentially critical temperature of 20 °C.

, microplastics and anthropogenic fibres, in surface waters of 67 European lakes spanning 30° of latitude and large environmental gradients.

In this study, we used high‐throughput sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene to investigate the entire diversity of benthic eukaryotes in three distinct habitats (littoral sediment and hard substrate, profundal sediment) of Lake Ohrid, the oldest European lake.

We apply the framework to a data set containing operational taxonomic units (OTUs) as well as more than twenty physicochemical and geographic variables measured in a large‐scale survey of European lakes.

Bulk atmospheric deposition samples, including wet and dry deposition, were collected during 2004-2006 in four high mountain European lakes: Skalnate Pleso (Tatra mountains, Slovakia), Gossenköllesee (Alps, Austria), Redon (Pyrenees, Spain), and Lochnagar (Grampian Mountains, Scotland).

Preglacial environments in Lake Ladoga, the largest European lake, located within the limits of the Scandinavian glaciations, are very poorly investigated compared to postglacial ones.

We studied mechanistically potential impacts of re-establishment of the brown trout (Salmo trutta) in the west-central European Lake Constance focusing on two commercially important fish species: whitefish and Eurasian perch.

The catchment area of the Neva River, which includes the largest European lakes Ladoga, Onega, Ilmen and Saimaa, located in Finland, has an area of 183,300 km2.

This study collected the most extensive standardized freshwater data set from hundreds of European lakes and conducted a comprehensive multi-omics analysis on antimicrobial resistance from these freshwater lakes.

In this paper, the Ladoga Lake is considered as an example of a large European lake [7].

Nevertheless, the Nesamovyte Lake still has a unique algae composition that is typical for high-mountainous European lakes.

The late Paleozoic temnospondyl Sclerocephalus formed an aquatic top predator in various central European lakes of the late Carboniferous and early Permian.

Here, we minimize dating errors by analyzing the annually laminated sequences of two Central European lakes, Poggensee and Woseriner See.

Lake Ohrid, located on the Balkan Peninsula at the Albanian-Macedonian border, is the oldest European lake (1.

The comparison based on the list of species from the six large, well-studied European lakes showed that Lake Constance (Switzerland/Germany/Austria) is the most species-rich waterbody with 174 taxa, followed by Lake Skadar with 164 taxa.

Here, we quantified the scale-dependent patterns of morphological variability among invasive populations of two global freshwater invaders—red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii and pumpkinseed sunfish Lepomis gibbosus—both established in American and European lakes.

This study used a large hydrochemical dataset to show that hypolimnetic O2 consumption rates in seasonally stratified European lakes remain consistently elevated within a narrow range (1.

sublineare) and in a European lake (P.

Here, we analysed observational data from eight European lakes and investigated the changes in annual minimum surface water temperature.

Here, we show clear asymmetry in the ability to couple habitats by Eurasian perch—a common polymorphic predator in European lakes.

The littoral zones of many Central European lakes are severely altered by lake-side retaining walls.

European lake sediment (Rachelsee, Germany) contains the time period of the Laacher See volcanic explosion (LSE) ca.

The concept of phytoplankton functional groups was proposed based on data from numerous European lakes and has been widely used in lakes, reservoirs, rivers worldwide.

We illustrate our approach using a long-term dataset on the plankton community from the Central European Lake Constance.

We analysed length-weight allometric relationships, attachment strength (2 days, 1 week and 1 month of exposure), shell crushing resistance and glycogen content across the entire size range of both species in large shallow European lakes where this displacement has recently occurred.

The shores of many central European lakes are subject to considerable hydromorphological impairments that conflict with the environmental objectives of the EC Water Framework Directive (WFD) and endanger the UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘Prehistoric Lake Dwellings around the Alps’.

A Citizen Science project was organized to test the aquatic TBI in 40 European lakes located in four climate zones, ranging from oligotrophic to hypereutrophic systems.

The European Lake Fish Index was used to illustrate the methodology and show how this method can provide valuable information on the confidence in the ecological status defined by the index.
