“…Global warming reinforces the eutrophication of already eutrophic lakes (Moss et al, 2011), with significant changes in lake food web structure and community composition Meerhoff et al, 2007;Brucet et al, 2010;Jeppesen et al, 2010a, b;Brucet et al, 2012;Meerhoff et al, 2012), and causes higher proportions of cyanobacteria in summer (Wagner & Adrian, 2009;Kosten et al, 2012). In the Mediterranean climate zone and other areas with semi-arid desert climates, changes in water level, hydraulic retention time and salinity associated with warming may have considerable further effects on lake ecosystem structure and dynamics (reviews by Wantzen et al, 2008, andBrucet et al, 2010;Zohary & Ostrovsky, 2011;Brucet et al, 2012).…”
