Abstract: Future aquatic ecosystems will be impacted synergistically by large-scale environmental changes, such as climate change and increased humic content. Now research shows that community responses are determined by food-chain length and that the top trophic level, and every second level below that, can be expected to benefit from climate change, whereas trophic levels in between are likely to suffer.
