Abstract: Salinity stress affects aquatic microalgal growth and their physiological responses have been studied extensively. However, arsenic (As) accumulation and biotransformation by freshwater phytoplankton under a salinity gradient have never been addressed. This study reports a… read more here.

Abstract: The thermal response of maximum growth rate in morphology-based functional groups (MBFG) of freshwater phytoplankton is analysed. Contrasting an exponential Boltzmann–Arrhenius with a unimodal model, three main features were evaluated: (i) the activation energy of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14337
Abstract: While there is a lot of data on interactive effects of eutrophication and warming, to date, we lack data to generate reliable predictions concerning possible effects of nutrient decrease and temperature increase on community composition… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4145308
Abstract: As the first step of methylmercury (MeHg) entry into the aquatic food webs, MeHg uptake by phytoplankton is crucial in determining the final human MeHg exposure risks. MeHg availability to plankton is regulated by dissolved… read more here.
