Causes of macrophyte mass development and management recommendations

Susanne C. Schneider; Julie A. Coetzee; Elena Fukasawa Galvanese; Sarah Faye Harpenslager; Sabine Hilt; Bart Immerzeel; Jan Köhler; Benjamin Misteli; Samuel N. Motitsoe; Andre A. Padial; Antonella Petruzzella; Anne Schechner; Gabrielle Thiébaut; Kirstine Thiemer; Jan E. Vermaat

In field experiments the authors investigated why mass developments of macrophytes occur and what the consequences of removing them are. The evaluation of different management approaches showed that the "do nothing" option can also be considered when dealing with aquatic plants.

Temperatures and hypolimnetic oxygen in German lakes: Observations, future trends and adaptation potential

Robert Schwefel; Lipa G. T. Nkwalale; Sylvia Jordan; Karsten Rinke; Michael Hupfer

A study of oxygen and temperature trends in 46 German lakes showed that temperatures have risen mainly at the surface, but not in the deep water. This led to increased stratification and lower oxygen concentrations. Scenarios showed that these effects of climate change on oxygen content could be compensated by reducing nutrients.
