The depletion of oxygen from bottom waters (hypolimnion) of lakes and reservoirs is becoming more frequent because of climate change and eutrophication. Low dissolved oxygen (hypoxia) can release nutrients from sediments and degrade water quality, alter animal behaviour and food…

Marine systems are facing an increase in the frequency of extreme events and especially climate change scenarios foreshadow the increase of heat waves in the future. Increasing heat waves can alter planktonic diversity, interactions between different groups, and key processes.…
