Combined effects of heatwaves and micropollutants on freshwater ecosystems: Towards an integrated assessment of extreme events in multiple stressors research

Francesco Polazzo et al.

Summary: Freshwater ecosystems are significantly affected by heatwaves and chemicals, yet limited research makes it difficult to draw consistent conclusions. There is a knowledge gap in utilizing multitrophic approaches, hindering the exploration of food web stability. The urgency of integrating extreme events into multiple stressors studies is emphasized.

Warming alters juvenile carp effects on macrophytes resulting in a shift to turbid conditions in freshwater mesocosms

Peiyu Zhang et al.

Summary: The study provides experimental evidence for a warming-induced regime shift from clear-water conditions dominated by submerged or floating/floating-leaved macrophytes to a turbid state in shallow aquatic ecosystems. It emphasizes the importance of reducing benthivorous fish abundance for the management of shallow lakes under global climate change.

Effect of multiple agricultural stressors on freshwater ecosystems: The role of community structure, trophic status, and biodiversity-functioning relationships on ecosystem responses

Francesco Polazzo et al.

Summary: This study found that the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions is influenced by nutrients and pesticides, with different effects of pesticides under different nutrient conditions. Eutrophication can increase resistance to pesticides and promote the dominance of more resilient species. Stressor interactions can affect the recovery of community composition, and the correlation between biodiversity and ecosystem functions may shift under certain stress conditions.

Derivation of water quality criteria for glyphosate and its formulations to protect aquatic life in China

Yili Fan et al.

Summary: Glyphosate is extensively used in China, and there is a need for water quality criteria to protect aquatic life. This study collected and analyzed toxicity data of glyphosate and glyphosate-based formulations on freshwater aquatic life. It was found that native species were more sensitive to glyphosate toxicity, and the derived water quality criteria were different from other countries. Calculations based on the criteria indicated medium or high hazard risk in certain water samples. The findings have scientific significance for exposure control and protection of aquatic life in China.

Multiple-stressor exposure of aquatic food webs: Nitrate and warming modulate the effect of pesticides

Vinita Vijayaraj et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of agricultural runoff and climate warming on shallow lakes and their ecological services. The results show that pesticides and nitrate have negative impacts on different trophic levels in the lake ecosystem, while climate warming modifies these effects. The study emphasizes the importance of considering multiple stressor scenarios in ecosystem-level studies and highlights the need for defining safe operating spaces.

Warming lowers critical thresholds for multiple stressor-induced shifts between aquatic primary producers

Bastian H. Polst et al.

Summary: Excessive nutrient loading in aquatic ecosystems can lead to regime shifts from macrophyte- to phytoplankton-dominated states, with interactions between warming, nitrate, and pesticides potentially exacerbating this shift. Understanding the effects of multiple stressors on ecosystem resilience and critical thresholds for regime shifts is crucial for defining safe operating spaces in aquatic systems.

Shifting states, shifting services: Linking regime shifts to changes in ecosystem services of shallow lakes

Annette B. G. Janssen et al.

Summary: Shallow lakes can transition between stable states due to anthropogenic or natural factors, impacting the ecosystem services they provide. Different dominant groups of primary producers in these states determine the types of services supplied. The identified ecosystem services in shallow lakes are linked to various Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting the importance of considering trade-offs in conserving and restoring these ecosystems for the natural value they bring.

Impact of chronic exposure of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, to low doses of glyphosate or glyphosate-based herbicides

Jessy Le Du-Carree et al.

Summary: The study found that exposure of rainbow trout to a concentration of 1 mu g L-1 of glyphosate for 10 months did not significantly impact their overall health, including during the spawning period, regardless of whether the pure active substance or two GBH formulations were used. However, immunological disturbances observed may require further investigation as they could have a significant impact in response to infectious stress.

Shallow lakes at risk: Nutrient enrichment enhances top-down control of macrophytes by invasive herbivorous snails

Ying Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that invasive herbivorous snails have a strong negative impact on native submerged macrophytes, especially under nutrient-rich conditions. This impact accelerates macrophyte consumption rates, leading to a negative feedback loop and an increased risk of shallow lakes shifting to turbid states.

Pelagic energy flow supports the food web of a shallow lake following a dramatic regime shift driven by water level changes

Zhigang Mao et al.

Summary: The transition from macrophyte to phytoplankton dominance in lake ecosystems can alter ecosystem structure and change the basic resources supporting the food web. Benthic invertebrates play a crucial role in this transition by transporting pelagic algae to the benthic zone, compensating for the reduction of macrophytes and epiphytes.

Disentangling the direct and indirect effects of agricultural runoffon freshwater ecosystems subject to global warming: A microcosm study

Joey Allen et al.

Summary: The research found that the impact of ARO on aquatic ecosystems is primarily mediated by its direct and indirect effects on primary consumers. ARO has a direct positive effect on phytoplankton but a strong negative effect on snails. When primary producers and consumers were exposed together, ARO had an indirect positive effect on periphyton.

Making waves. Bridging theory and practice towards multiple stressor management in freshwater ecosystems

Bryan M. Spears et al.

Summary: Despite common use of single-stressor abatement approaches in freshwater management, unexpected ecological responses can occur when multiple stressors interact, highlighting the need to address limitations in developing multiple-stressor management strategies and bridge theory and practice. Practical recommendations include using empirical models and experiments to predict freshwater degradation effects in response to changes in multiple stressors.

Effects of Glyphosate and Its Metabolite AMPA on Aquatic Organisms

Nikola Tresnakova et al.

Summary: Glyphosate and its major metabolite AMPA are widely present in the aquatic environment, posing potential risks to aquatic organisms. The toxic effects of these compounds on aquatic organisms mainly include growth inhibition, developmental abnormalities, oxidative stress, and histopathological changes. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of glyphosate and AMPA on aquatic ecosystems.

Isolated and combined effects of glyphosate and its by-product aminomethylphosphonic acid on the physiology and water remediation capacity of Salvinia molesta

Evelyn Joslin Mendes et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the isolated and combined effects of glyphosate and its by-product AMPA on aquatic macrophytes, finding that the deleterious effects on plants increased when both chemicals were present. The aquatic macrophyte Salvinia molesta showed high removal efficiency, making it a potential candidate for phytoremediation programs. Further toxicological studies on herbicides should consider the combined effects of glyphosate and AMPA.
