Contrasting pelagic plankton in temperate Irish lakes: the relative contribution of heterotrophic, mixotrophic and autotrophic components, and the effects of extreme rainfall events (Pre-published version)
Dalton, Catherine; Sparber, Karin; de Eyto, Elvira; Jennings, Eleanor; Lenihan, David; Cassina, Fillipo (Taylor & Francis, 2015)The mobilisation of energy from allocthonous carbon by heterotrophic bacterioplankton can be proportionally more important than autotrophic production in humic lakes. Moreover, increasing levels of dissolved organic carbon ... -
Neo- and palaeolimnological investigations in a humic and a clear water lake in the west of Ireland
Sparber, Karin (Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2012)Surface waters draining peat catchments often have a characteristic brown colour due to the presence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) compounds. A rise in DOC concentrations has been documented in rivers and lakes in ... -
The palaeolimnology of Lough Murree, a brackish lake in The Burren, Ireland
Dalton, Catherine; Cassina, Filippo; de Eyto, Elvira; Sparber, Karin (Royal Irish Academy, 2013)Lough Murree, a rock/karst barrier lagoon, is superficially isolated from the sea and seasonal variations in lake water level reflect precipitation and groundwater variation. Lake salinity influenced by subsurface saline ... -
Past, current and future interactions between pressures, chemical status and biological quality elements for lakes in contrasting catchments in Ireland (ILLUMINATE)
Dalton, Catherine; Jennings, Eleanor; Taylor, David; O'Dwyer, Barry; Murnaghan, Sarah; Bosch, Kim; de Eyto, Elvira; Sparber, Karin (Environmental Protection Agency, 2010)
