Funded by LBAYS: Importance of aquatic and terrestrial food resources for nesting birds in relation with beaver habitat management
Long-term flood in a small forest lake increases nutrient leaching from the surrounding terrestrial ecosystem. This increases biological production in the food web of the lake, which is seen in, e.g., ...
