• Biodiversity patterns of Arctic diatom assemblages in lakes and streams: Current reference conditions and historical context for biomonitoring 

      Kahlert, Maria; Ruhland, Kathleen M; Lavoie, Isabelle; Keck, Francois; Saulnier-Talbot, Emilie; Bogan, Daniel; Brua, Robert B; Campeau, Stephane; Christoffersen, Kirsten Seestern; Culp, Joseph M; Karjalainen, Satu Maaria; Lento, Jennifer; Schneider, Susanne Claudia; Shaftel, Rebecca; Smol, John P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      1.Comprehensive assessments of contemporary diatom distributions across the Arctic remain scarce. Furthermore, studies tracking species compositional differences across space and time, as well as diatom responses to climate ...
    • Ecological correlates of riverine diatom and macroinvertebrate alpha and beta diversity across Arctic Fennoscandia. 

      Brittain, John Edward; Heino, Jani; Friberg, Nikolai; Aroviita, J.; Kahlert, M.; Karjalainen, S-M.; Keck, F.; Lento, J.; Liljaniemi, P.; Mykrä, H.; Schneider, Susanne Claudia; Ylikörkko, J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Arctic freshwaters support biota adapted to the harsh conditions at these latitudes, but the climate is changing rapidly and so are the underlying environmental filters. Currently, we have limited understanding of broad-scale ...
    • High aquatic macrophyte diversity in Norwegian lakes north of the Arctic Circle 

      Mjelde, Marit; Thrane, Jan-Erik; Demars, Benoît Olivier Laurent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      1. Aquatic macrophytes recolonised inland waters following the last glacial retreat. The resulting diversity and the variables influencing it remain largely unexplored north of the Arctic Circle, including possible effects ...
    • Inorganic carbon promotes photosynthesis, growth, and maximum biomass of phytoplankton in eutrophic water bodies 

      Hammer, Kathrine Jul; Kragh, Theis; Sand-Jensen, Kaj (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      1.The traditional perception in limnology has been that phytoplankton biomass in lakes is limited by phosphorus, nitrogen, and light, but not by dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) because CO2 can be supplied from the atmosphere. ...
    • Interactive effects of land use, river regulation, and climate on a key recreational fishing species in temperate and boreal streams 

      Donadi, Serena; Degerman, Erik; McKie, Brendan G.; Jones, Douglas; Holmgren, Kerstin; Sandin, Leonard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Numerous anthropogenic stressors, including river regulation, excess loadings of nutrients and sediment, channelisation, as well as thermal and hydrological stressors driven by climate change impact riverine ecosystems ...
    • Multitrophic biodiversity patterns and environmental descriptors of sub-Arctic lakes in northern Europe 

      Lau, Danny C.P.; Christoffersen, Kirsten S.; Erkinaro, Jaakko; Hayden, Brian; Heino, Jani; Hellsten, Seppo; Holmgren, Kerstin; Kahilainen, Kimmo Kalevi; Kahlert, Maria; Karjalainen, Satu Maaria; Karlsson, Jan; Forsström, Laura; Lento, Jennifer; Mjelde, Marit; Ruuhijärvi, Jukka; Sandøy, Steinar; Schartau, Ann Kristin; Svenning, Martin; Vrede, Tobias; Goedkoop, Willem (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      1. Arctic and sub-Arctic lakes in northern Europe are increasingly threatened by climate change, which can affect their biodiversity directly by shifting thermal and hydrological regimes, and indirectly by altering landscape ...
    • Nuisance growth of Juncus bulbosus: the roles of genetics and environmental drivers tested in a large-scale survey 

      Moe, Therese Fosholt; Brysting, Anne Krag; Andersen, Tom; Schneider, Susanne Claudia; Kaste, Øyvind; Hessen, Dag Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      1. Invasive species can transform aquatic ecosystems, and the nuisance growth of the freshwater macrophyte Juncus bulbosus has become a problem in many lakes and rivers in northern Europe. It affects biodiversity strongly ...
    • Temperature and spatial connectivity drive patterns in freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity across the Arctic 

      Lento, Jennifer; Culp, Joseph M; Levenstein, Brianna; Aroviita, Jukka; Baturina, Maria A.; Bogan, Daniel; Brittain, John E; Chin, Krista; Christoffersen, Kirsten S.; Docherty, Catherine; Friberg, Nikolai; Ingimarsson, Finnur; Jacobsen, Dean; Lau, Danny Chun Pong; Loskutova, Olga A.; Milner, Alexander; Mykrä, Heikki; Novichkova, Anna A.; Ólafsson, Jón S.; Schartau, Ann Kristin; Shaftel, Rebecca; Goedkoop, Willem (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      1. Warming in the Arctic is predicted to change freshwater biodiversity through loss of unique taxa and northward range expansion of lower latitude taxa. Detecting such changes requires establishing circumpolar baselines ...
