The Working Group “Ecology” (WG B) and its expert groups EG BMON, EG FISH and EG BIOTOP have compiled current scientific knowledge on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity. This report describes the expected impacts on the four aquatic organism groups phytoplankton, macrophytes/phytobenthos, macrozoobenthos and fish. Further chapters deal with the aspect of neobiota and the effects on semi-aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
The report is only available in German, French and Dutch.
