Impacts of forestry planting on primary production in upland lakes from north-west Ireland (2015)
Journal Article
Stevenson, M. A., McGowan, S., Anderson, N. J., Foy, R. H., Leavitt, P. R., McElarney, Y. R., Engstrom, D. R., & Pla-Rabés, S. (2016). Impacts of forestry planting on primary production in upland lakes from north-west Ireland. Global Change Biology, 22(4), 1490-1504. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.13194

Planted forests are increasing in many upland regions worldwide, but knowledge about their potential effects on algal communities of catchment lakes is relatively unknown. Here, the effects of afforestation were investigated using palaeolimnology at... Read More about Impacts of forestry planting on primary production in upland lakes from north-west Ireland.

Increases in atmospheric temperature and nutrients from land are thought to be promoting the expansion of harmful cyanobacteria in lakes worldwide, yet to date there has been no quantitative synthesis of long-term trends. To test whether cyanobacteri... Read More about Acceleration of cyanobacterial dominance in north temperate-subarctic lakes during the Anthropocene.
