My new study reveals that artificial water level stability is a chronic stressor for reeds. While high, managed water levels suppress photosynthetic capacity, natural fluctuations can increase reed biomass by up to 31%. https://t.co/WNcRd82BVy

Making a splash again!
We are excited to share some news straight from the world of limnology and algal biomass monitoring. Here is an article on Lake Balaton and an open-source online tool: https://t.co/3mFURYGBg4

My latest research paper looked into the relationship between a pondweed with its epiphytic algae. These epiphytes hog the light that the pondweed needs for photosynthesis and mess with the way the pondweeds use the light.

So next time you're taking a dip in Lake Balaton, remember you're diving into a whole different kind of culture!

We took a deep dive into the bustling microbial metropolis of #LakeBalaton and used some fin-tastic technology to uncover its hidden secrets. Turns out, this lake is teeming with many tiny inhabitants!

An outflow of a thermal lake (Hévíz, Hungary). Only invasive species in the stream water.

The results suggest that environmental degradation tends to decrease the average values of the traits studied, but definitely increases the plasticity of these traits. A similar pattern was observed for plant senescence.
What do you think?

Sharing my new paper "Photosynthetic traits of Phragmites australis along an ecological gradient and developmental stages" https://t.co/Al5h3dWtd1

[Viktor Toth @ViktorToth4]

It examines how photophysiological traits and their plasticity respond to different levels of environmental degradation and with season.

These findings may not rock your boat, but ... hey ... it could improve lake management if you think beyond catchments in a form of clustered management for neighbouring lakes.

[Viktor Toth @ViktorToth4]

In my latest article I sum up investigation on the biological synchrony of neighbouring lakes in western Hungary using some satellite-derived chlorophyll data https://t.co/mTQVvpMzri...

Proximity matters: the closer the lakes, the more similar their biological processes, suggesting that regional factors (such as geology, geomorphology and mesoclimate) sometimes play a greater role than hydrological connectivity.

[Viktor Toth @ViktorToth4]

Here are some old trivia that everyone knows, but I manage to quantify:
- Hydrologically connected lakes show synchrony (yeah ... who knew?), although hydrologically disconnected lakes show higher synchrony of phytoplankton phenological events.

Legend says: average increase in water temperature per decade!

[Viktor Toth @ViktorToth4]

We looked at how the water temperature in Lake Balaton has changed over the last 20 years. Using satellite data we found that the temperature of the lake has risen by 0.7°C per decade, i.e. it has already risen by 1.4°C since the beginning of the millennium.
