(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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • Relating environmental pressures to littoral biological water quality indicators in Western Balkan lakes: Can we fill the largest gaps?

      Along six transects in each of six lakes across the Western Balkans, we collected data for three groups of littoral biological water quality indicators: epilithic diatoms, macrophytes, and benthic invertebrates. We assessed ...
    • 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 ...
