Warming advances top-down control and reduces producer biomass in a freshwater plankton community (2017, background): “Indeed, a variety of effects have been reported for different communities, ranging from an advanced timing (Hansson et al. 2013) and increased community growth rate and carrying capacity (De Senerpont Domis et al. 2014) of chlorophytedominated communities to shifts in community composition favoring…”
Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “This weak link between zooplankton and cyanobacteria may be a selfstabilising process (Mitra & Flynn, 2006) that is likely to continue under future climate change scenarios (Hansson et al., 2013).”
Harmful algal blooms and climate change: Learning from the past and present to forecast the future (2015, background): “, 2010), and the trends towards ‘‘brownification’’ of coastal waters due to increased inputs of humic matter (Hansson et al., 2013; Monteith et al., 2007).”
Mesocosm Experiments as a Tool for Ecological Climate-Change Research (2013, background): “Community responses to warming may depend on food-chain length or the trophic position of the focal taxa: Hansson et al. (2012) found that phytoplankton benefit in three-, but not in two-trophic-level systems in a mesocosm experiment, whereas cyanobacteria benefitted from a higher temperature and…”
