Get your copies of some of the key research done on Lake of the Woods. You’ve got until March 15th to download for free, some of the seminal research that is unlocking the mystery of what is causing algae blooms on Lake of the Woods. You can view online or if you want to save for posterity and future reading, you can download a pdf of each article at: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ulrm20/33/4
Our science partners working on Lake of the Woods have put together a special issue of the Journal of Lake and Reservoir Management (Volume 33, Issue 4) devoted entirely to Lake of the Woods. They also have negotiated a 60-day free public access and download period for this, normally paid-subscription, peer-reviewed scientific journal.
A big shout-out of thanks to the researchers who contributed to this special issue and particularly to Andrew Paterson (Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change) and Jesse Anderson (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) for organizing the special issue and for negotiating the open access period.
The special issue presents 11 papers with results of key science studies on Lake of the Woods, some of which were supported by the Foundation. Of particular interest may be:
- An introduction to Lake of the Woods—from science to governance in an international waterbody (J. Anderson et al.)
- Paleolimnology of the Lake of the Woods southern basin: continued water quality degradation despite lower nutrient influx (E. Reavie et al.)
- Historical phosphorus dynamics in Lake of the Woods (USA–Canada) — does legacy phosphorus still affect the southern basin? (M. Edlund et al.)
Open public access is only available until March 15, 2018, so download now!
