Since the 20th century, global biodiversity indicators declined, especially for freshwater ecosystems. In European Union, to counter this, the enactment of the Habitats Directive (HD) and the Water Framework Directive (WFD) established legally binding environmental objectives for Member States. Thus, identifying where HD and WFD non‐compliance occurs is critical, as these locations represent areas of restoration needs for fres...
Density-dependent facilitation and inhibition between submerged and free-floating plantsNARA Subscribed
This study aimed at testing the hypothesis that free-floating plants may facilitate the growth of submerged plants under hypertrophic conditions and intermediate plant density. The effects of Lemna presence on the growth of two submerged plants ( Elodea nuttallii and Ceratophyllum demersum ) over a nitrogen gradient were experimentally investigated. This was complemented with analysing the presence of C. demersum and E. nuttal...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
The biota of European rivers are affected by a wide range of stressors impairing water quality and hydro‐morphology. Only about 40% of Europe's rivers reach ‘good ecological status’, a target set by the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and indicated by the biota. It is yet unknown how the different stressors in concert impact ecological status and how the relationship between stressors and status differs between river...
