Limnophase versus potamophase: how hydrological connectivity affects the zooplankton community in an oxbow lake (Vistula River, Poland)
and
The impact of river hydrology on the oxbow lake was studied. Potamophase brought greater zooplankton diversity. Limnophase with higher water temperature led to greater zooplankton density but its diversity decreased. In recent years, probably due to climate change, water level in rivers is low and potamophase is rare. Oxbows remain isolated what is the cause biodiversity reducing.
