Changes in spatial distribution of phosphorus and nitrogen in the large north-temperate lowland Lake Peipsi (Estonia/Russia)
We investigated changes in the spatial distribution of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in Lake Peipsi using limnological data from 1970 to 2005. The results show differences in nutrient content between the nor...

Nutrients and phytoplankton in Lake Peipsi during two periods that differed in water level and temperature
Data for the vegetation periods (May–November) of 1985–2003 were used to collate the nutrient content and biomass of the most important phytoplankton groups in Lake Peipsi (Estonia). Two periods differing in e...

Highlights of large lake research and management in Europe
Lakes in Europe have a bipolar distribution by latitude with higher lake densities in the north (58–65° N) and south (38–48° N). By area, 95% of the large lakes (>100 km2) are located at altitudes lower than 100 ...

The role of temperature in the population dynamics of smelt Osmerus eperlanus eperlanus m. spirinchus Pallas in Lake Peipsi (Estonia/Russia)
We analysed lake smelt (Osmerus eperlanus eperlanus m. spirinchus Pallas.) population dynamics in relation to water level and temperature in Lake Peipsi, Estonia/Russia, using commercial fishery statistics from 1...

Combining limnological and palaeolimnological approaches in assessing degradation of Lake Pskov
Limnological monitoring data and palaeorecords from large shallow Lake Pskov were used to study the long-term dynamic pattern of the lake ecosystem and to identify the start of its degradation. Lake Pskov is t...

A comparative study on the feeding of eel, Anguilla anguilla (L.), bream, Abramis brama (L.) and ruffe, Gymnocephalus cernuus (L.) in Lake Võrtsjärv, Estonia
The stomach contents of eel, bream and ruffe were examined in order to detect the diet overlap and possible food competition between these benthophagous fishes in the eutrophic Lake Võrtsjärv. The frequency of...
