This thesis is concerned with regular patterns found in ecology and biology, their linkages and the statistical description of their fluctuations around average trends. Among such patterns, often conforming to power laws, well-known examples include the Sp ...
Low oxygen concentrations remain a global concern for the ecological health of lakes. High nutrient inputs and climate-induced changes in stratification and mixing are anthropogenic threats which largely impact aquatic oxygen budgets and overall ecosystem ...
We investigate the impact on remote sensing reflectance by the vertical non-uniformities of water constituents. Reflectance simulated for 210 pairs of in situ measured chlorophyll-a and turbidity profiles (z = 0–20 m) from Lake Geneva are compared to simul ...
Species declines due to changing environmental conditions or anthropogenic influences such as fisheries harvest as well as species introductions probably have consequences beyond the species by also altering their food webs. The scope of the effect on the ...
Oxygen is the most important dissolved gas for lake ecosystems. Because low oxygen concentrations are an ongoing problem in many parts of the oceans and numerous lakes, oxygen depletion processes have been intensively studied over the last decades and were ...
During the last decade, environmental flows have been measured with a growing set of instruments, which can now offer relatively high resolution in space and time. This growing amount of data can analysed following a "statistical approach to turbulence", r ...
The dynamics of the spatiotemporal surface heat flux (SurHF) of Lake Geneva (Switzerland/France) was estimated for a 7-y period. Data sources included hourly maps of over-the-lake assimilated meteorological data from a numerical weather model and Lake Surf ...
Although aquatic ecologists and biogeochemists are well aware of the crucial importance of ecosystem functions, i.e., how biota drive biogeochemical processes and vice-versa, linking these fields in conceptual models is still uncommon. Attempts to explain ...
Although stream ecosystems are recognized as an important component of the global carbon cycle, the impacts of climate-induced hydrological extremes on carbon fluxes in stream networks remain unclear. Using continuous measurements of ecosystem metabolism, ...
The rapid proliferation of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) in industry and the environment requires realistic toxicity assessments based on approaches that consider the biological complexity of ecosystems. Here we assessed the acute toxicity of carbonate-coate ...
