DOI: 10.1002/aps3.11487
Abstract: Abstract Premise Aquatic macrophyte species abundance and nutrient affinity are used in metrics to assess the trophic condition of lakes and rivers. The development of these indices is often regional, with inter‐regional comparisons being complicated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3897
Abstract: Abstract Recent studies have documented global declines in insects and their relatives, but the exact mechanisms explaining these patterns are not fully understood. A potential driver underlying arthropod population declines is increases in anthropogenic inputs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11545
Abstract: Whether pristine ecosystems with intact trophic structures are more resilient to anthropogenic pressures than ecosystems facing human exploitation is a pressing question to ecological theory and management. For coastal vegetated ecosystems such as kelp forests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11792
Abstract: Understanding the ecological interactions that enhance the resilience of threatened ecosystems is essential in assuring their conservation and restoration. Top‐down trophic interactions can increase resilience to bottom‐up nutrient enrichment, however, as many seagrass ecosystems are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11878
Abstract: Anthropogenic and climatic stressors on freshwater ecosystems are of global concern. However, the interactions and effects of multiple stressors (e.g., nutrient enrichment, climate warming, altered wind and precipitation) acting over different spatial and temporal scales… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-05064-w
Abstract: Plant communities worldwide show varied responses to nutrient enrichment—including shifts in species identity, decreased diversity, and changes in functional trait composition—but the factors determining community recovery after the cessation of nutrient addition remain uncertain. We… read more here.

Feedbacks Between Nutrient Enrichment and Geomorphology Alter Bottom-Up Control on Food Webs

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0265-x
Abstract: Classic bottom-up theory predicts that increased resource availability (for example, nutrients) at the base of the food web will stimulate primary production and, in turn, secondary production. Recent studies, however, indicate that bottom-up controls on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00350-4
Abstract: Anthropogenic activities are increasing nutrient inputs to ecosystems worldwide, with consequences for global carbon and nutrient cycles. Recent meta-analyses show that aboveground primary production is often co-limited by multiple nutrients; however, little is known about… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-020-04392-x
Abstract: Global warming-related changes to freshwater ecosystems in Arctic and Subarctic regions have been magnified by nutrient input from increasing waterfowl populations. To gain insight into how these changes might affect ecosystem function, we conducted a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-021-04566-1
Abstract: Intermittent stream research focuses mostly on pristine streams. The impacts of nutrient enrichment on invertebrate communities in these systems thus remains underexplored, especially in temperate climates. This study aimed to compare taxa survival during stream… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112390
Abstract: Oligotrophic waters (OW), generally favour longer food chain facilitated by the microbial loop. In such ecosystems, physical mixing (e.g. upwelling, and winter convection) inject nutrients and propagules from subsurface to the photic zone. Such events… read more here.
