Regime Shifts in Shallow Lakes [PDF]
Every now and then the usual scenario of fluctuations around trends in ecosystems is interrupted by sharp shifts to a different regime (Scheffer and others 2001; Carpenter 2003). Similarly, reconstructions of past climatic dynamics reveal various spectacularly rapid changes punctuating episodes of relative stability (Rial and others 2004), and also ...

Reconsideration of wind stress, wind waves, and turbulence in simulating wind-driven currents of shallow lakes in the Wave and Current Coupled Model (WCCM) version 1.0 [PDF]
Wind stress, wind waves, and turbulence are essential variables and play a critical role in regulating a series of physical and biogeochemical processes in large shallow lakes.

A Cognitive Model of an Epistemic Community: Mapping the Dynamics of Shallow Lake Ecosystems [PDF]
We used fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) to develop a generic shallow lake ecosystem model by augmenting the individual cognitive maps drawn by 8 scientists working in the area of shallow lake ecology.

Design of an integrated shallow water wave experiment [PDF]
The experimental design and instrumentation for an integrated shallow-water surface gravity wave experiment is discussed. The experiment required the measurement of the water surface elevation, meteorological parameters, and directional spectra at a ...

Temporal and spatial variations in phytoplankton productivity in surface waters of a warm-temperate, monomictic lake in New Zealand [PDF]
Surface phytoplankton productivity measurements were carried out in morphologically complex Lake Rotoiti with the objective of defining variations between sites and seasons, and the dominant environmental drivers of these variations.

Quantifying measures to limit wind driven resuspension of sediments for improvement of the ecological quality in some shallow Dutch lakes [PDF]
Although phosphorus loadings are considered the main pressure for most shallow lakes, wind-driven resuspension can cause additional problems for these aquatic ecosystems. We quantified the potential effectiveness of measures to reduce the contribution of

Experimental Study on the Curing Effect of Dredged Sediments with Three Types of Curing Agents
Sediment solidification technology is widely used to dispose dredged sediment, three types of curing agents were used in this study to solidified the dredged sediment from shallows in Nantong with three types of curing agents: JY, ZL and FJ.
