Impacts of climate change on ecosystem functioning

Description

This report on impacts of climate change on freshwater ecosystem functioning, summarizes results from a long-term study of the relationship between phytoplankton biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. It presents models of ecosystem functions - algal biomass and nitrogen and phosphorous resource use efficiency - linking seasonal variability in ecosystem functioning to that in various physical, chemical, and diversity related drivers. It also summarizes results from standardized and comprehensive field experiments conducted in streams across geographical regions.
