Freshwater Ecosystem Responses to Climate Change the Euro-limpacs Project... 

The Euro-limpacs project focuses especially on eutrophication in shallow lakes and streams. It includes i) attempts to find analogues of how shallow lake and stream systems function across latitudes from the warm temperate to the arctic ii) stable isotope analysis to reconstruct food web relationships iii) experiments on parallel natural... 

In addressing these problems, the Euro-limpacs project aims to assess how current chemical, biological and functional indicator systems need to be modified to be suitable for climate change monitoring. To do this it is necessary to ...

The DSS is being tested at seven eatehments aeross Europe, which form a core, common set of catchments for the Euro-limpacs project (see also Table 7.4.3). These are ... 

These seven case studies will, firstly, act as demonstrations of how the DSS can be applied to different types of issue and management problem and, secondly, integrate the site-specific data being generated by the Euro-limpacs project in these catchments, within the application of the DSS. The case studies include the Tamar catchment (UK), which is being developed as the pathfinder case study. In the context of the application at the Euro-limpacs case study sites, much of the site-specific data comes...
