The programme NuukBasic is described and, for the first time, results will presented from several of the monitoring components (Table 1). In particular, we focus on changes in plant phenology, vegetation greenness, graded effects of UVB radiation

Seven lakes were fishless, while the remaining six hosted a dwarf form of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). In fishless lakes, Daphnia pulex was abundant, while no daphnids were found in

With climate wanning, complex changes in fish assemblage structure may be expected owing to direct effects of temperature and indirect effects operating through eutrophication, water level changes, stratification and salinisation. We reviewed published and new long-term (10 100 years) fish data series from 24 We dedicate this paper to the late Prof. JUrgen Benndorf, a true pioneer and mentor in lake and reservoir management oriented research, who inspired a number of us to initiate long term comprehensive experimental ecological studies on lakes and reservoirs.

This synthesis examines 35 long-term (5-35 years, mean: 16 years) lake re-oligotrophication studies. It covers lakes ranging from shallow (mean depth <5 m and/or polymictic) to deep (mean depth up to 177 m), oligotrophic to hypertrophic (summer mean total phosphorus concentration from 7.5 to 3500 lg L)1 before loading reduction), subtropical to temperate (latitude: 28-65°), and lowland to upland (altitude: 0-481 m). Shallow northtemperate lakes were most abundant. 2. Reduction of external total phosphorus (TP) loading resulted in lower in-lake TP concentration, lower chlorophyll a (chl a) concentration and higher Secchi depth in most lakes. Internal loading delayed the recovery, but in most lakes a new equilibrium for TP

Less is known about macrophytes in other climate regions. We studied 98 shallow lakes distributed in three different European latitudinal regions. The lakes were selected along mutually independent gradients of macrophyte coverage and total phosphorus and were sampled monthly from May to October for water chemistry and physical variables. We tested for changes in the impact of selected environmental variables on the macrophyte assemblage, coverage and richness in the three regions. Coverage was measured along transects during July/August and June in the northern/central and southern European lakes, respectively. Correspondence Discriminant Analysis was used to detect for differences in macrophyte composition among different regions, and univariate regression trees were used to detect relationships between environmental variables and macrophyte coverage and richness. In the northern lakes, the coverage was mainly related to chlorophyll a followed by pH, and richness was related to Secchi depth and chlorophyll a. In the southern lakes, pH was the key environmental variable for both coverage and richness. North-south differences may be of relevance for determining management strategies related to global climate change.

Climate change constitutes another threat exacerbating the symptoms of eutrophication and species migration and loss. Unequivocal evidence of climate change impacts is still highly fragmented despite the intensive research, in part due to the variety and uncertainty of climate models and underlying emission scenarios but also due to the different approaches applied to study its effects. We first describe the strengths and weaknesses of the multi-faceted approaches that are presently available for elucidating the effects of climate change in lakes, including space-for-time substitution, time series, experiments, palaeoecology and modelling. Reviewing combined results from studies based on the various approaches, we describe the likely effects of climate changes on biological communities, trophic dynamics and the ecological state of lakes. We further discuss potential mitigation and adaptation measures to counteract the effects of climate change on lakes and, finally, we highlight some of the future challenges that we face to improve our capacity for successful prediction.

We aimed to distinguish the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic local factors on patterns of fish diversity in European lakes at different geographical scales. 2. We compiled data from standardised fish monitoring using multimesh benthic gill nets, information on lake morphometry and on geographical, climatic and anthropogenic pressure variables from 1632 lakes in 11 European countries. By means of regression trees, we determined those natural and anthropogenic factors and their thresholds that best predicted local fish diversity, density and mean size. Generalised linear models were used to assess the influence of anthropogenic factors at smaller geographical and morphometric scales. 3. Local fish species richness and diversity were related mainly to morphometric and (bio)geographical/climatic variables. Larger and deeper lakes in warm areas tended to be the most species rich and diverse. Fish density was related mainly to anthropogenically driven productivity bu...
