Effects of lake size, water clarity, and climatic variability on mixing depths in Canadian Shield lakes
Abstract
The depth of the summer mixed (Ed) of 21 Canadian Shield lakes in northwestern Ontario was examined in relation to lake size (surface area, Ao) and water clarity (extinction coefficient, K d) for periods ranging from 2 to 23 yr (n = 1,408). The lakes range in Ao from 4 to 4.9 × 10 5 ha, and midsummer (mid‐June through mid‐August mean) K d varied from <0.2 to >2.5 m‒1 with greatest variation in small lakes that were experimentally eutrophicated or acidified or whose terrestrial basins were burned. Over the full spectrum of lake sizes, Ao was the primary determinant of E d; transparency significantly modified this relationship but only in small lakes (Ao <500 ha). In noneutrophic shield lakes, transparency is controlled by the concentration of dissolved organic C (DOC). Lower DOC concentrations (a likely consequence of 2 × CO 2 climate change) would cause transparency to increase, resulting in 1–2‐m‐deeper epilimnia in small lakes; there would be no similar effect in large lakes.

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.
