The vertical and seasonal distribution of chlorophyll in lakes of the Experimental Lakes Area, northwestern Ontario: Implications for primary production estimates
Open accessAbstract
An in vivo flow‐through fluorometer system revealed narrow bands of very high chlorophyll concentrations in the meta‐ or hypolimnia of all clear, stratified ELA lakes. In two experimentally fertilized lakes chlorophyll concentrations in the hypolimnion exceeded 300 µ g liter−1 while epilimnetic chlorophyll was only 3 µ g liter−1. The hypolimnetic bloom represented the major response to enhanced nutrient loading. The peak was in or below the thermocline at depths where 1–3% of photosynthetically available surface irradiance penetrated; the algae at the peak were actively growing flagellated colonial chrysophyceans. The autumn surface “bloom” was due to entrainment of this previously produced chlorophyll, not to growth caused by mixing in of hypolimnetic nutrients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
