Lake Baikal reprieved

Endeavour, 1991
Abstract Baikal, the deepest lake in the world, contains 20 per cent of the world's reserves of fresh water. Unique in its fauna and flora, for a long time it has been seen by Soviet citizens as a symbol of an area preserved in its natural state. Yet its ecosystem was in fact starting to disintegrate, threatened by industrial pollution.

Preserving Lake Baikal

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2004
Heritage Site. This was hardly a surprising choice; the lake is truly staggering. Its surface area is as large as Belgium and its depths penetrate the mantle of the earth. It contains 20% of the world's non-frozen freshwater and is home to over 1000 endemic species. It is also, as yet, relatively unpolluted.

An intriguing enigma of Lake Baikal

Biological Rhythm Research, 2007
Abstract The paper presents a solution of the long-lived enigma of Lake Baikal, the so-called “melosira years” phenomenon. Lake Baikal exhibits sharp differences in its spring phytoplankton development of up to hundred times from year to year. Intervals between these bloom outbursts are, as a rule, 3 and 4 years long but they were sometimes doubled ...

The Oxygen Cycle in Lake Baikal

Water Resources, 2001
The oxygen cycle and the balance of free oxygen and oxygen bound in CO2in Lake Baikal are discussed based on new data on the gas exchange between the lake and atmosphere, O2consumption in bottom sediments, and the rate of aerobic decomposition in the abyssal zone of the lake.

The Lake Baikal neutrino experiment

Physics of Atomic Nuclei, 2003
We review the present status of the Baikal neutrino experiment. The structure and parameters of the neutrino telescope NT-200, which was put into operation in April 1998, are described. Selected methodological results are presented. Physics results cover separating up-going muons from atmospheric neutrinos, searches for neutrino events from WIMP ...

Planktonic ciliates of Lake Baikal

Hydrobiologia, 2006
The current list of planktonic ciliates dwelling in Lake Baikal numbers 102 species, 81 of which are considered as euplanktonic. This plankton ciliate community is characterised by high percentages of oli-gotrichs and gymnostomes, 28 and 27%, respectively. One third of these ciliates are cold-stenothermic species, with temperature optimum preference of
