• Charophytes in warm springs on Svalbard (Spitsbergen): DNA barcoding identifies Chara aspera and Chara canescens with unusual morphological traits 

      Langangen, Anders; Ballot, Andreas; Nowak, Petra; Schneider, Susanne C (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The Troll springs are warm springs on Svalbard (Spitsbergen). Charophytes were collected in the years 1910, 1912, 1958, 1992/1993, and 2018. However, since the Chara samples showed unusual morphological traits, there were ...
    • Effects of flow events and nutrient addition on stream periphyton and macroinvertebrates: an experimental study using flumes 

      Bækkelie, Knut Andreas E; Schneider, Susanne C; Hagman, Camilla H. C; Petrin, Zlatko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We used flume experiments to study the effects of a temporary increase in stream flow on macroinvertebrates, leaf litter breakdown and soft-bodied benthic algae; both as a single stressor and eventually in combination with ...
    • Littoral eutrophication indicators are more closely related to nearshore land use than to water nutrient concentrations: A critical evaluation of stressor-response relationships

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Biological assessment metrics and water chemistry measurements are used to quantify the link between stressors and their effects on lake ecosystems, for the Water Framework Directive. However, correlations between metrics ...
    • Mechanical removal of macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems: Implications for ecosystem structure and function 

      Thiemer, Kirstine; Schneider, Susanne C; Demars, Benoît O L (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Macrophytes are generally considered a nuisance when they interfere with human activities. To combat perceived nuisance, macrophytes are removed, and considerable resources are spent every year worldwide on this practice. ...
    • Meta-analysis of multidecadal biodiversity trends in Europe 

      Pilotto, Francesca; Kühn, Ingolf; Adrian, Rita; Alber, Renate; Alignier, Audrey; Andrews, Christopher; Bäck, Jaana; Barbaro, Luc; Beaumont, Deborah; Beenaerts, Natalie; Benham, Sue; Boukal, David S.; Bretagnolle, Vincent; Camatti, Elisa; Canullo, Roberto; Cardoso, Patricia G.; Ens, Bruno J.; Everaert, Gert; Evtimova, Vesela; Feuchtmayr, Heidrun; García-González, Ricardo; Gómez-García, Daniel; Grandin, Ulf; Gutowski, Jerzy M.; Hadar, Liat; Halada, Lubos; Halassy, Melinda; Hummel, Herman; Huttunen, Kaisa-Leena; Jaroszewicz, Bogdan; Jensen, Thomas C; Kalivoda, Henrik; Schmidt, Inger Kappel; Kröncke, Ingrid; Leinonen, Reima; Martinho, Filipe; Meesenburg, Henning; Meyer, Julia; Minerbi, Stefano; Monteith, Don; Nikolov, Boris P.; Oro, Daniel; Ozoliņš, Dāvis; Padedda, Bachisio M.; Pallett, Denise; Pansera, Marco; Pardal, Miguel Ângelo; Petriccione, Bruno; Pipan, Tanja; Pöyry, Juha; Schäfer, Stefanie M.; Schaub, Marcus; Schneider, Susanne C; Skuja, Agnija; Soetaert, Karline; Springe, Gunta; Stanchev, Radoslav; Stockan, Jenni A.; Stoll, Stefan; Sundqvist, Lisa; Thimonier, Anne; Van Hoey, Gert; Van Ryckegem, Gunther; Visser, Marcel E.; Vorhauser, Samuel; Haase, Peter (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Local biodiversity trends over time are likely to be decoupled from global trends, as local processes may compensate or counteract global change. We analyze 161 long-term biological time series (15–91 years) collected ...
    • Rapid colonization of aquatic communities in an urban stream after daylighting 

      Baho, Didier L; Arnott, David; Myrstad, Karoline D; Schneider, Susanne C; Moe, Therese F (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Restoring aquatic ecosystems is still at an early stage and the outcomes of the remediation techniques used are often not reported, which limit opportunities to learn and further improve these methods. One common remediation ...
    • Relating environmental pressures to littoral biological water quality indicators in Western Balkan lakes: Can we fill the largest gaps? 

      Vermaat, Jan E.; Biberdžić, Vera; Braho, Vjola; Gjoreska, Biljana Budzakoska; Cara, Magdalena; Dana, Zamira; Đurašković, Pavle; Eriksen, Tor Erik; Hjermann, Dag Øystein; Imeri, Alma; Jovanović, Katarina; Krizmanić, Jelena; Kupe, Lirika; Loshkoska, Tatjana; Kemp, Joanna Lynn; Marković, Aleksandra; Patceva, Suzana; Rakočević, Jelena; Stojanović, Katarina; Talevska, Marina; Trajanovska, Sonja; Trajanovski, Sasho; Veljanovska-Sarafiloska, Elizabeta; Vidaković, Danijela; Zdraveski, Konstantin; Zivic, Ivana; Schneider, Susanne C (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
