Lake restoration and biomanipulation in temperate lakes: relevance for subtropical and tropical lakes
@inproceedings{Jeppesen2003LakeRA, title={Lake restoration and biomanipulation in temperate lakes: relevance for subtropical and tropical lakes}, author={Erik Jeppesen and Martin S{\o}ndergaard and N{\'e}stor Mazzeo and Mariana Meerhoff and Christina Wyss Castelo Branco and Vera Huszar and Flavio Scasso}, year={2003} }
This introductory chapter to the book “Tropical eutrophic lakes: their restoration and management” gives a summary survey of the responses of temperate lakes to increased nutrient loading (the eutrophication process) and during remediation. Chemically and biologically conditioned resistance may cause a delayed response to the nutrient loading reduction and different methods of overcoming this resistance are briefly described. Biological restoration methods (termed “biomanipulation”) are…

Summary
1. Fish play a key role in the functioning of temperate shallow lakes by affecting nutrient exchange among habitats as well as lake trophic structure and dynamics. These processes are, in…

The results suggest that bottom-up effects of free-floating plants are weak when cover is low or intermediate, and cascading effects on phytoplankton through free- floating plant impacts on piscivorous fish are unlikely to be strong.

The most important differences of algal biomass between zones coincided with a high herbivorous zooplankton biomass and/or with plants occupying the entire water column during the low level period, and the consequent stronger predation of juvenile fish seemed to decrease macrophyte efficiency as a zoopLankton refuge in summer.

It is suggested that abiotic conditions, such as light, temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH, are less likely to influence DHM than DVM because weaker gradients of these conditions occur horizontally in shallow lakes relative to vertical gradients in deep lakes, and constructed comprehensive models that can predict the likelihood of DHM are constructed.
