Drivers and resilience of methane-derived carbon contribution to chironomid biomass in boreal lakes
General mechanisms underlying the pathways of methane (CH 4 )-derived carbon in aquatic food webs are often associated with eutrophication-driven...

Browning-induced changes in trophic functioning of planktonic food webs in temperate and boreal lakes: insights from fatty acids
The effects of lake browning on trophic functioning of planktonic food webs are not fully understood. We studied the effects of browning on the...
-
Abundance and movement of fishes among nearshore habitat types in small boreal shield lakes
The littoral zone of lakes consists of a mosaic of habitat types, which support fish communities that contribute greatly to biodiversity and food web...

Resolving the Drivers of Algal Nutrient Limitation from Boreal to Arctic Lakes and Streams
Nutrient inputs to northern freshwaters are changing, potentially altering aquatic ecosystem functioning through effects on primary producers. Yet,...

Ontogenetic variation in isotopic niche positions of aquatic consumers in boreal lakes
We used an extensive multispecies dataset to examine how C and N stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) of aquatic consumers varied with body size in...

Sedimentary phosphorus burial in three contrasting boreal lakes in Finland
Permanent phosphorus (P) burial in sediment regulates lake trophic state over long timescales, but the controls on P burial are only partially...

Phytoplankton ecology in the early years of a boreal oil sands end pit lake
BackgroundBase Mine Lake (BML) is the first full-scale end pit lake for the oil sands mining industry in Canada. BML sequesters oil sands tailings...
-
Landscape regulation of microbial use of terrestrial carbon in boreal streams
Microbes decomposing leaf litter in aquatic ecosystems are exposed to two major sources of carbon (C), namely, particulate organic C (POC) and...
-
Spatial and temporal variation of Nuphar lutea pigment content in small boreal lakes: effect of water colour and phosphorus concentration
The spatial and temporal variation of Nuphar lutea chlorophyll content was studied in 12 small lakes in Finland to clarify the bioindicator potential...
-
Millennial-Scale Disturbance History of the Boreal Zone
Long-term disturbance histories, reconstructed using diverse paleoecological tools, provide high-quality information about pre-observational periods....
-
Existing dataset suggests lakes in agricultural watersheds are warming faster than urban or forested lakes
Lake temperatures are important drivers of ecological and ecosystem processes, including influencing organism physiology and biogeochemical rates....

Toxaphene in the Great Lakes
Toxaphene is a major persistent organic contaminant in air, water and fish in the Great Lakes. The story of toxaphene in the Great Lakes, like that...

Lake browning impacts community structure and essential fatty acid content of littoral invertebrates in boreal lakes
Many lakes in the northern hemisphere are browning due to increasing concentrations of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The consequences...
-
Prevalence of Autotrophy in Non-humic African Lakes
Heterotrophic respiration of organic matter (OM) is thought to dominate over aquatic primary production (PP) in most freshwater lake ecosystems. This...
-
Fire History and Long-Term Carbon Accumulation in Hemi-boreal Peatlands
Fire can play an important role in peatlands by modifying plant communities and carbon (C) stocks. However, baseline disturbance data on peatland...

Land and Freshwater Complex Interactions in Boreal Forests: A Neglected Topic in Forest Management
Aquatic and terrestrial habitats are interdependent components of the boreal forest landscape involving multiple dynamic interactions; these are...

Coupling of iron and dissolved organic matter in lakes–selective retention of different size fractions
Increasing concentration of iron (Fe) is observed in many boreal lakes, such as for the present study in Oslo Østmark, SE-Norway (1983–2018). As...

Using Camera Traps to estimate Habitat Preferences and Occupancy Patterns of Vertebrates in Boreal Wetlands
Wetlands are a critical habitat for boreal mammals and birds that rely on them for breeding, foraging, and resting. However, wetlands in boreal...

Characterization and genome analysis of a psychrophilic methanotroph representing a ubiquitous Methylobacter spp. cluster in boreal lake ecosystems
Lakes and ponds are considered as a major natural source of CH 4 emissions, particularly during the ice-free period in boreal ecosystems. Aerobic...

Temporal changes in boreal vegetation under 70 years of conservation
Biodiversity conservation through protected areas (PAs) is often based on the idea that biodiversity is relatively static. This assumption is...
