Eutrophication has been one of the largest environmental problems in aquatic ecosystems during the past decades, leading to dense, and often toxic, cyanobacterial blooms. In a way to counteract these problems many lakes have been subject to restoration through biomanipulation. Here we combine 13 years of monitoring data with experimental assessment of grazing efficiency of a naturally occurring...

Climate warming in combination with nutrient enrichment can greatly promote phytoplankton proliferation and blooms eutrophic waters. Lake Taihu, China, is a large, shallow system. Since 2007, this lake has experienced extensive input reductions aimed at controlling cyanobacterial blooms. However, intense have persisted through 2017 record-setting bloom occurring May 2017. Causal analysis sugges...

• Environmental adaptation of bacterioplankton decreased after dredging. Stochastic processes community increased Sediment total phosphorus mediated balance between stochasticity and determinism. Disentangling ecological mechanisms behind dredging is meaningful to implement environmental policy for improving water quality. However, assembly in response disturbance are poorly understood. Based o...
