Table 1 Guiding criteria for the literature search

From: What are the type, direction, and strength of species, community, and ecosystem responses to warming in aquatic mesocosm studies and their dependency on experimental characteristics? A systematic review protocol

Populations

Exposure and intervention

Outcomes (response variables)

Comparators

Marine, estuarine and freshwater species and communities

Warming (heating) manipulation AND mesocosm experiment

Species richness, species evenness, biodiversity, total community biomass, single species abundance (cover, count), single species biomass, survival rate, mortality rate, growth rate, community productivity, nutrient cycling, nutrient flux, metabolism, decomposition, respiration, resilience, temporal stability, resistance

Warmed vs control (ambient) treatments
