Boston, MA.The aquatic habitat guides are a companion to the Northeast Lake and Pond Classification (Olivero and Anderson, 2016; available at http://nature.ly/NElakes) and is an addition to the Northeast Habitat Guides: A Companion to the Terrestrial and Aquatic Habitat Maps (Anderson et al. 2013).The guides provide users with a compact fact sheet describing each of the mapped habitats, and providing information on the ecology and conservation status of the habitat, including: Map of the regional distribution Photos of example habitat Description...
Citation: Olivero-Sheldon, A. and M.G. Anderson. 2016. Northeast Lake and Pond Classification. The Nature Conservancy, Eastern Conservation Science, Eastern Regional Office. Boston, MA.AbstractWe developed a mapped classification of lakes and ponds based on facors that structure lacustrine ecosystems and that could be mapped consistently across Northeastern US. The classification was based upon four key variables: water temperature, alkalinity, trophic state, and depth. Water temperature was mapped into three classes (very cold, cold, and cool-warm) to reflect the requirements and limits of aquatic organisms. Alkalinity was grouped into three classes (high, medium, low) to reflect how well the lake system was buffered...
