Publisher Summary This chapter describes the various aspects of advances in physical
limnology. A discussion of seasonal behavior and the role of the geographic location of a …

1. In some shallow lakes, Daphnia and other important pelagic consumers of phytoplankton
undergo diel horizontal migration (DHM) into macrophytes or other structures in the littoral …

The successful net growth of a species depends on its ability to optimise resource capture, to
utilise efficiently these resources and to minimise losses. It is unlikely that any one organism …

Accelerated eutrophication due to excessive nutrient (particularly P) loadings has led to
great interest in the role of submerged macrophytes in the nutritional economy of freshwater …

Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is
usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective …

Physical and dynamic properties of marine microplastic (MP) particles are summarized, with
relevance to their behavior in the coastal zone. The density range, size classes, and typical …

Effects of wind and wind-induced waves on vertical phytoplankton distribution and
Microcystis aeruginosa bloom formation were studied in Meiliang Bay of Lake Taihu from …

Microcystis aeruginosa displays a range of variability in buoyancy in response to light which
is dependent upon the previous nutrient or light history of the cell. The short-term buoyancy …

Benthic, pelagic and littoral habitats are linked by physical processes in lakes. Exchanges
between littoral and pelagic regions or between sheltered embayments and open waters …

A three‐dimensional primitive equation numerical model was applied to Lake Erie on a 2 km
grid to study its summer circulation and thermal structure. Model results were compared to …
