Increased Water Abstraction and Climate Change Have Substantial Effect on Morphometry, Salinity, and Biotic Communities in Lakes: Examples from the Semi-Arid Burdur Basin (Turkey) Colak, Mehmet Arda; Oztas, Baris; Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; Soyluer, Melisa; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Ramirez-Garcia, Arely; Metin, Melisa; Yilmaz, Gultekin; Ertugrul, Serhat; TAVŞANOĞLU, ÜLKÜ NİHAN; Amorim, Cihelio Alves; Özen, Can; Apaydin Yagci, Meral; Yagci, Abdulkadir; Pacheco, Juan Pablo; Özkan, Korhan; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal (2022-04-01) Global warming and altered precipitation patterns are predicted to intensify the water loss in semi-arid and arid regions, and such regions in Turkey will be particularly affected. Moreover, water abstraction, not least fo...
The importance of allochthonous organic matter quality when investigating pulse disturbance events in freshwater lakes: a mesocosm experiment Caldero-Pascual, Maria; Yildiz, Dilvin; Yalçın, Gülce; Metin, Melisa; Yetim, Sinem; Fiorentin, Claudia; Andersen, Mikkel Rene; Jennings, Eleanor; Jeppesen, Erik; Ger, Kemal Ali; Beklioğlu, Meryem; McCarthy, Valerie (2021-11-01) Extreme precipitation is occurring with greater frequency and intensity as a result of climate change. Such events boost the transport of allochthonous organic matter (allo-OM) to freshwater ecosystems, yet little is known...
Decadal changes in size, salinity, waterbirds, and fish in lakes of the Konya Closed Basin, Turkey, associated with climate change and increasing water abstraction for agriculture Yilmaz, Gultekin; Colak, Mehmet Arda; Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; Metin, Melisa; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Ertugrul, Serhat; Soyluer, Melisa; Bucak, Tuba; Tavsanoglu, U. Nihan; Özkan, Korhan; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik (2021-08-09) The Konya Closed Basin (KCB) in Turkey has a cold semiarid to warm Mediterranean climate and hosts the largest Turkish freshwater lake, Lake Beysehir, and the iconic saline Lake Tuz. Using published as well as our own grou...
Determinants of phytoplankton size structure in warm, shallow lakes Erdoğan, Şeyda; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Litchman, Elena; Miller, Elizabeth T.; Levi, Eti E.; Bucak, Tuba; Tavşanoǧlu, Ülkü Nihan (2021-05-01) Body size is an important trait of any organism, including phytoplankton, because it affects physiological and morphological performance, reproduction, population growth rate and competitive interactions. Understanding how...
Changes in functional composition and diversity of waterbirds: The roles of water level and submerged macrophytes Özgencil, İbrahim Kaan; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Özkan, Korhan (2021-01-18)
Nutrient Loading, Temperature and Heat Wave Effects on Nutrients, Oxygen and Metabolism in Shallow Lake Mesocosms Pre-Adapted for 11 Years Jeppesen, Erik; Audet, Joachim; Davidson, Thomas A.; Neif, Erika M.; Cao, Yu; Filiz, Nur; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Larsen, Soren E.; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Sh, Tserenpil; Sondergaard, Martin (2021-01-01) Global changes (e.g., warming and population growth) affect nutrient loadings and temperatures, but global warming also results in more frequent extreme events, such as heat waves. Using data from the world's longest-runni...
Impact of Nutrients, Temperatures, and a Heat Wave on Zooplankton Community Structure: An Experimental Approach Iskin, Ugur; Filiz, Nur; Cao, Yu; Neif, Erika M.; Oglu, Burak; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Davidson, Thomas A.; Sondergaard, Martin; Tavsanoglu, Ulku Nihan; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik (MDPI AG, 2020-12-01) Shallow lakes are globally the most numerous water bodies and are sensitive to external perturbations, including eutrophication and climate change, which threaten their functioning. Extreme events, such as heat waves (HWs)...
Phytoplankton Community Response to Nutrients, Temperatures, and a Heat Wave in Shallow Lakes: An Experimental Approach Filiz, Nur; Iskin, Ugur; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Oglu, Burak; Cao, Yu; Davidson, Thomas A.; Sondergaard, Martin; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Jeppesen, Erik (MDPI AG, 2020-12-01) Phytoplankton usually responds directly and fast to environmental fluctuations, making them useful indicators of lake ecosystem changes caused by various stressors. Here, we examined the phytoplankton community composition...
Impact of nutrients and water level changes on submerged macrophytes along a temperature gradient: A pan-European mesocosm experiment Ersoy, Zeynep; Scharfenberger, Ulrike; Baho, Didier L.; Bucak, Tuba; Feldmann, Tonu; Hejzlar, Josef; Levi, Eti E.; Mahdy, Aldoushy; Noges, Tiina; Papastergiadou, Eva; Stefanidis, Konstantinos; Sorf, Michal; Sondergaard, Martin; Trigal, Cristina; Jeppesen, Erik; Beklioğlu, Meryem (Wiley, 2020-09-01) Submerged macrophytes are of key importance for the structure and functioning of shallow lakes and can be decisive for maintaining them in a clear water state. The ongoing climate change affects the macrophytes through cha...
Impacts of multiple stressors on freshwater biota across spatial scales and ecosystems Birk, Sebastian; et. al. (2020-08-01) Climate and land-use change drive a suite of stressors that shape ecosystems and interact to yield complex ecological responses (that is, additive, antagonistic and synergistic effects). We know little about the spatial sc...
