Forest debris that drains into lakes is important to freshwater food chainsresearch shows forest debris that drains into lakes is an important contributor to freshwater food chains--bolstering fish diets to the extent that increased forest
Debris from forests that washes into freshwater lakes supplements the diets of microscopic zooplankton and the fish that feed off them--creating larger and stronger fish new research shows.
In fact the study was conducted at a Canadian lake chosen because it had suffered ecological disaster during the mid-20th century:
Despite moves to reduce environmental impact many areas of vegetation surrounding the lake are still in recovery.
This enabled scientists to study Yellow perch fish from different parts of a lake that has varying degrees of surrounding forest coverage.
Essentially the more forest around the edge of the lake the fatter the fish in that part of the lake were.
Scientists say that the young fish in lake areas with scant forest cover were much smaller
While plankton raised on algal carbon is more nutritious organic carbon from trees washed into lakes is a hugely important food source for freshwater fish bolstering their diet to ensure good size
The work was conducted at Daisy Lake on the outskirts of the industrial city of Sudbury in Ontario Canada.
The scientists studied eight different'watersheds'surrounding the lake: a given area across which all the moisture drains into a single stream.
When these fast-moving streams--full of detritus from forest foliage--hit the slow-moving lake the debris falls out of suspension
but the new research builds on previous work that showed they also feed on bacteria from forest matter drained into lakes.
Areas of Daisy Lake closest to the nickel smelt-works remain bare--dirt and rock instead of the once lush forest.
The young fish in these parts of the lake were considerably smaller due to less available food.

Ecology, super-sizedthe University of Wisconsin-Madison home of pioneering ecologists who studied lakes forests wetlands
But where UW-Madison's Edward Birge and Chancey Juday considered the founders of freshwater science once studied lakes one by one UW-Madison scientists are now leading several large-scale ecological investigations.
The university through its Trout Lake Station in Boulder Junction Wisconsin has played a pivotal role in the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) an international network that has placed observation buoys at more than 100 lakes.
The 24/7 nature of data collection is essential says Tim Kratz director of Trout Lake and a GLEON founder.
One difficulty in studying lakes is that many organisms are very short-lived and the environment can change quickly.
Their records are being assembled to compare lakes of various sizes located in different geographic or social settings and climates Kratz says.
For example the project has discovered the release of greenhouse gases is controlled differently in large lakes versus small ones.

Watersheds are areas of land with streams and rivers that all drain into a larger body of water such as a bigger river a lake or an ocean.
Using sediments from a remote lake researchers from Brown University have assembled a 60000-year record of rainfall in central Indonesia.
To arrive at those conclusions the researchers used sediment cores from Lake Towuti an ancient lake on the island of Sulawesi in central Indonesia.
By looking at how concentrations of chemical elements in the sediment change with depth the researchers can develop a continuous record of how much surface runoff poured into the lake.
Core samples from deeper in the Lake Towuti sediment will show whether this drying evident during the last ice age also happened in previous ice ages.
It's estimated that Lake Tuwuti sediments record up to 800000 years of climate data and Russell recently received funding to take deeper cores.
