Effects of flow regime on benthic algae and macroinvertebrates - A comparison between regulated and unregulated rivers
Schneider, Susanne C.; Petrin, Zlatko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Natural fluctuations in flow are important for maintaining the ecological integrity of riverine ecosystems. However, the flow regime of many rivers has been modified. We assessed the impact of water chemistry, habitat and ... -
Nutrient retention by the littoral vegetation of a large lake: Can Lake Ohrid cope with current and future loading?
Vermaat, Jan E.; Matzinger, Andreas; Trajanovska, Sonja; Talevska, Marina; Schneider, Susanne C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nitrogen and phosphorus budgets were compiled for the littoral (29 km2) and pelagic (329 km2) of ancient, deep, clear, and hard water Lake Ohrid (Albania and North Macedonia), to assess the importance of the littoral in ... -
Same same, but different: The response of diatoms to environmental gradients in Fennoscandian streams and lakes – barcodes, traits and microscope data compared
Kahlert, Maria; Bailet, Bonnie; Chonova, Teofana; Karjalainen, Satu Maaria; Schneider, Susanne C.; Tapolczai, Kálmán (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We developed and compared the performance of freshwater benthic diatom indices calculated from (i) traditional morphological species identification, (ii) Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs) obtained via DNA metabarcoding, ... -
Species differentiation in the genus Chara (Charophyceae): considerable phenotypic plasticity occurs within homogenous genetic groups
Schneider, Susanne C.; Nowak, Petra; Von Ammon, Ulla; Ballot, Andreas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Charophytes are benthic algae with a complex morphology and high phenotypic plasticity. This has led to ambiguities in species delineation. However, until now genetic studies on Chara have been based on samples collected ... -
The “Forgotten” Ecology Behind Ecological Status Evaluation: Re-Assessing the Roles of Aquatic Plants and Benthic Algae in Ecosystem Functioning
Schneider, Susanne C.; Hilt, Sabine; Vermaat, Jan E.; Kelly, Martyn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Aquatic plants and benthic algae have long been used as indicators for nutrient enrichment in lakes and streams. Evaluations of the performance of indices calculated from species assemblages of aquatic plants and algae are ...
