It crosses ten countries, running over 2,800 kilometres from source to mouth, is a border river, and has been used as a passage for trade for millennia: the Danube is a veritable transnational river – and a challenge for freshwater management. 20 August 2020 focus The state of Lake Stechlin Lake Stechlin is known as one of the largest and deepest oligotrophic lakes in northern Germany. However, the condition of the lake has deteriorated increasingly rapidly over the past twenty years – as shown by long-term research conducted by IGB. 7 August 2020 short news Practical guide on litter decomposition in fresh waters The decomposition of plant litter is the second most important ecosystem process in the biosphere. Mark Gessner and colleagues have released a new edition of their comprehensive methods book on litter decomposition in fresh waters. 3 August 2020 short news Species interactions shape metacommunities Landscapes are heterogeneous and often contain patches of habitats – lakes are great examples for such island-like habitats.
