Summer temperature/dissolved oxygen squeeze conditions have negatively impacted coldwater fisheries, including rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), in North South Twin lakes of northeastern Washington. In 2009, line diffuser hypolimnetic oxygenation (HO) was initiated to prevent anoxia increase summer habitat. Suitable habitat volume increased from a low 0% preoxygenation 100% the hypolimnion following HO. To assess if utilized expanded oxygenation,...
Trophic state (TS) characterizes a waterbody’s biological productivity and depends on its morphometry, physics, chemistry, biology, climate, history. However, multiple TS operational definitions have emerged to meet use-specific classification needs. These differing can create inconsistent understanding, lead miscommunication, result in siloed management strategies for TS. For example, some regulatory agencies use signify ecological integrity as opposed productivity, where may trigger...
Abstract Given climatic uncertainty and human population growth, tracking the world's freshwater availability is essential. Fortunately, data necessary to identify surface water patterns are abundant. Wrangling these into an analytically friendly format, however, can be difficult for researchers not experienced in manipulation high‐performance computing. To increase accessibility, we developed Global Lake area, Climate, Population (GLCP) dataset. The GLCP offers annually aggregated...
