Imagine that a deep temperate zone lake did not turn over during the spring and fall seasons. Based on the physical and biological properties of limnetic ecosystems, what would be the difference from normal seasonal turnover?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. The lake would fail to freeze over in winter.
  2. An algal bloom of algae would result every spring.
  3.  Lakes would suffer a nutrient depletion in surface layers.
  4. The pH of the lake would become increasingly alkaline.
