In-lake Ecology 101

This session was held at the 2019 Wisconsin Lakes Partnership Convention and Water Action Volunteers Symposium. Session Description: Lake ecology is a fascinating discipline, with biology, chemistry and physics all playing a role in every lake. The plants in the shallow littoral zone are at the “root” of a healthy lake. Animals of all kinds, from fish to loons are favorite lake residents. Lake microorganisms perform all kinds of critical processes and are the invisible heroes of the lake. From AL (aluminum) to ZN (zinc), chemistry is elemental to a well-functioning lake. Lake physics, including fall and spring turnover and ice duration help define the annual rhythm of a lake. Altogether, lakes are dynamic ecosystems with many moving parts - all interacting to keep the lake humming. The more you know about your lake, the more you will appreciate it, so come and learn all about lake basics. Presenter: Susan Knight, Interim Director, Trout Lake Station Center for Limnology
