Environmental correlates of plant and invertebrate species richness in ponds (2011, result): “While vegetation abundance (% plant cover in this analysis) exhibited a significant relationship with species richness in our analysis, we can state categorically that there is no relationship between pond volume and species richness in our study system (in line with other studies Oertli et al. 2002”
The ecology of European ponds: defining the characteristics of a neglected freshwater habitat (2008, background): “As a result, there is growing evidence that ponds are functionally different from larger lakes (Oertli et al., 2002; Sondergaard et al., 2005) and that, despite their small size, they are collectively exceptionally rich in biodiversity terms (Williams et al.”
Productivity and depth regulate lake contributions to atmospheric methane (2016, background): “Considering, lakes less than 1 km2 dominate the global freshwater surface area (Downing et al. 2006), and lake depth is correlated with lake size (Søndergaard et al. 2005; Sobek et al. 2011), these findings have significant implications for current and future contributions of lakes to global…”
