Effects of mixing on the pelagic food web in shallow lakes
Summary We examined the effects of wind‐induced mixing and particle resuspension on the pelagic food web in eutrophic shallow lakes. These processes are known to have a major impact on a variety of biological, physical or chemical parameters such as the underwater light climate, the nutrient availab...

Summary We examined the effects of wind‐induced mixing and particle resuspension on the pelagic food web in eutrophic shallow lakes. These processes are known to have a major impact on a variety of biological, physical or chemical parameters such as the underwater light climate, the nutrient availability in the water column and the abundance and composition of the phytoplankton community. However, little is known about the effects of these processes on other compartments of the freshwater food web. We conducted a 9‐week experiment comprising a manipulation of mixing intensity in 15 m 3 mesocosms equipped with wavemakers in order to explore the impact of two mixing regimes on water chemistry as well as viral, bacterial, phytoplankton and zooplankton communities.
