Stream-lake interaction: Understanding a coupled hydro-ecological system
Despite the obvious hydrologic connection between streams and lakes in many regions of the world, rarely has this linkage been recognized conceptually. Most watersheds contain lakes or artificial reservoirs, so the linkages between these systems are widespread. Drawing on recent research in temperat...

Despite the obvious hydrologic connection between streams and lakes in many regions of the world, rarely has this linkage been recognized conceptually.
