Importance of mixing, thermal stratification and light adaptation for phytoplankton productivity in Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada) [Physiological response of algal populations]

Lake Tahoe is highly transparent (Secchi readings 20-42 metres) and never freezes over. Deep mixing throughout its 500-metre water column occurred in March 1974 and 1975. Between June and October 1974, a distinct epilimnion of 15- to 30-metre thickness existed. Phytoplankton, which is dominated by d...
