Obiettivo We propose to analyze and compare long-term (more than 20 years) phyo-and zooplankton dynamics in four European pre-alpine lakes.Our goal is to better understand the response of plankton populations to changes in:a) nutrient loading,b) climatic variability andc) the interaction between nutrient loading and climatic variability.These analyses based on extremely valuable data which have not been fully exploited yet, will give important results both in applied and theoretical ecology. The selected lakes (Lake Constance, Geneva, Zürich and Walen) recently underwent eutrophication and oligotrophication. Being reasonably closed to each other, both of them were probably strongly influenced by the North Atlantic Oscillation. Comparative analyses of these lakes are ideally suited to distinguish similarities and differences between long-term structural and functional changes.
