Biogeochemical characteristics of a tropical lake [PDF]
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.

Carbon dioxide dynamics in a lake and a reservoir on a tropical island (Bali, Indonesia). [PDF]
Water-to-air carbon dioxide fluxes from tropical lakes and reservoirs (artificial lakes) may be an important but understudied component of global carbon fluxes.

Tropical forests as drivers of lake carbon burial
Abstract A significant proportion of carbon (C) captured by terrestrial primary production is buried in lacustrine ecosystems, which have been substantially affected by anthropogenic activities globally. However, there is a scarcity of sedimentary organic carbon (OC) accumulation information for lakes surrounded ...

Phytoplankton Biodiversity in Two Tropical, High Mountain Lakes in Central Mexico
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”

Diatom assemblage in a tropical lake of northeastern Brazil [PDF]
The composition and spatial variation of diatom assemblage in surface sediments of Caçó Lake (shallow, mesotrophic and weakly acid lake - Maranhão State, Brazil) were analyzed in order to know the distribution pattern of the species along the lake during rainy season (April 1999).

The distribution of Siombak lake sediments, a tropical tidal lake in Indonesia
Abstract Siombak Lake is one of Indonesia’s tropical tidal lakes located in Medan City, North Sumatra Province. This lake is very dynamic because the lake water level is fluctuating according to the Belawan waters’ tidal (Malacca Strait). This study aims to determine the distribution of sediments in Siombak Lake.

Diurnal sampling reveals significant variation in CO2 emission from a tropical productive lake
It is well accepted in the literature that lakes are generally net heterotrophic and supersaturated with CO2 because they receive allochthonous carbon inputs. However, autotrophy and CO2undersaturation may happen for at least part of the time, especially

Water mite predation on zooplankton of a tropical lake [PDF]
Water mite (Krendowskia sp.) predation on zooplanktonic species from Lake Monte Alegre (São Paulo State, Brazil) was tested in laboratory experiments. One cladoceran, Daphnia gessneri, two copepods, Tropocyclops prasinus and Thermocyclops decipiens, and Chaoborus larvae III and IV were supplied as prey to adult mites.

Persistent Eutrophication in a Tropical Endorheic Lake Driven by Sediment–Water Interactions
Eutrophication in tropical endorheic lakes often persists despite reductions in external nutrient inputs, indicating an important role of internal nutrient loading.
