Plant water resource partitioning and isotopic fractionation during transpiration in a seasonally dry tropical climate [PDF]
, 2017 Lake Chala (3 degrees 19' S, 37 degrees 42' E) is a steep-sided crater lake situated in equatorial East Africa, a tropical semiarid area with a bimodal rainfall pattern. Plants in this region are exposed to a prolonged dry season, and we investigated if (

Spatial and temporal dynamics of pCO2 and CO2 flux in tropical Lake Malawi
Limnology and Oceanography, 2020 Numerous studies have documented CO2 dynamics in temperate lakes, but few such studies have been conducted on tropical lakes. Spatial and seasonal variation of air and water pCO2, along with supporting limnological and meteorological variables, were ...

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”

Role of the sediments of two tropical dam reservoirs in the flux of metallic elements to the water column [PDF]
, 2012 In tropical climates, the high rainfall and temperature, throughout the annual cycle, allow high leaching rates of metallic elements from the basin upstream, which accumulate in the reservoirs.

Carbon dioxide dynamics in a lake and a reservoir on a tropical island (Bali, Indonesia). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Water-to-air carbon dioxide fluxes from tropical lakes and reservoirs (artificial lakes) may be an important but understudied component of global carbon fluxes.

Localized precipitation and runoff on Mars [PDF]
, 2010 We use the Mars Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (MRAMS) to simulate lake storms on Mars, finding that intense localized precipitation will occur for lake size >=10^3 km^2.

Large CO2 disequilibria in tropical lakes [PDF]
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2009 On the basis of a broad compilation of data on pCO2 in surface waters, we show tropical lakes to be, on average, far more supersaturated and variable in CO2 (geometric mean ± SE pCO2 = 1804 ± 35 μatm) than temperate lakes (1070 ± 6 μatm). There was a significant negative relationship between pCO2 and latitude, resulting in an average decrease of pCO2 ...

Omnivory by planktivores stabilizes plankton dynamics, but may either promote or reduce algal biomass [PDF]
, 2010 Classical models of phytoplankton–zooplankton interaction show that with nutrient enrichment such systems may abruptly shift from limit cycles to stable phytoplankton domination due to zooplankton predation by planktivorous fish.

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.
