| Title | Spatial and temporal dynamics of deep chlorophyll layers in high-mountain lakes: effects of nutrients, grazing and herbivore nutrient recycling as growth determinants |
| Creator | Sawatzky, Cornelia L. Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Luecke, Chris |
| Description | Deep chlorophyll layers (DCL) are a common feature of oligotrophic lakes, yet the mechanisms that form and maintain them are not understood fully. These phytoplankton populations occur in the metalimnia of lakes where light levels are moderate to low, and where nutrient levels and zooplankton grazing pressure are different than in the epilimnion. To test the importance of nutrients and grazing pressure for algal growth in different lake strata, microcosm experiments and monitoring were... |
