In the deepest portions of many lakes, zones of high conductivity bottom water (HCBW) depleted in dissolved oxygen (DO) are present. HCBW and DO are important for determining benthic diversity and abundance, nutrients and contaminant cycling, and understanding the long-term evolution of lakes. We in...
