The climatic stressors that are affecting lake ecosystems, especially phytoplankton, projected to become more intense with continued climate change (e.g., heatwaves, precipitation events). Concerns over the combined effects multiple, coinciding can have on phytoplankton necessitates investigating impacts of different regional scenarios. A microcosm study was conducted assess responses a assembl...

Abstract. Coastal lagoons are important sites for nitrogen (N) removal via sediment burial and denitrification. Blooms of heterocystous cyanobacteria may diminish N retention as dinitrogen (N2) fixation offsets atmospheric losses We measured N2 in the Curonian Lagoon, Europe's largest coastal lagoon, to better understand factors controlling context seasonal changes phytoplankton community compo...
