Linking the stream/lake transitional zone

Here is a new paper out titled “Dynamics of the stream–lake transitional zone affect littoral lake metabolism” from a great group of Lake Sunapee collaborators led by the amazing Dr. Nicole Ward! We examined two stream inflows from Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire (see figure below) and found that stream inputs affect the metabolism of the organism’s in the lake itself. It is important to think about what is happening in the landscape as that might affect the edges of the lake and subsequently the ecosystem function at the middle of the lake at a later time period.
