Deposition, burial and sequestration of carbon in an oligotrophic, tropical lake
Journal of Limnology, 2014 The amount of biogenic carbon that may be deposited, buried and eventually preserved (sequestered) in the sediments of a tropical, oligotrophic lake, was evaluated based on i) the temporal variation of the particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration ...

Phytoplankton Biodiversity in Two Tropical, High Mountain Lakes in Central Mexico
Diversity, 2022 Lakes El Sol and La Luna, inside the crater of the Nevado de Toluca volcano, Central Mexico, are the only two perennial high mountain lakes [HML] in the country. HML are considered among the most comparable ecosystems worldwide. These lakes are “extreme”

Water temperature and some water quality in Lake Toba, a tropical volcanic lake
, 2023 In 2014, 2018 and 2021, we measured the vertical distributions of several water quality indicators in Lake Toba, a representative large tropical lake. This lake has a north basin (NB) and south basin (SB), connected by a strait. Similar water temperature

Biogeochemical characteristics of a tropical lake [PDF]
, 2023 Biogeochemical analyses of lacustrine environments are well-established methods that allow exploring and understanding complex systems in the lake ecosystem. However, most were conducted in temperate lakes controlled by entirely different physical conditions than in tropical climates.
