Neo- and palaeolimnological investigations in a humic and a clear water lake in the west of Ireland
(Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, 2012)
Surface waters draining peat catchments often have a characteristic brown colour due to
the presence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) compounds. A rise in DOC
concentrations has been documented in rivers and lakes in ...
The palaeolimnology of Lough Murree, a brackish lake in The Burren, Ireland
(Royal Irish Academy, 2013)
Lough Murree, a rock/karst barrier lagoon, is superficially isolated from the sea and seasonal variations in lake water level reflect precipitation and groundwater variation. Lake salinity influenced by subsurface saline ...
Contrasting pelagic plankton in temperate Irish lakes: the relative contribution of heterotrophic, mixotrophic and autotrophic components, and the effects of extreme rainfall events (Pre-published version)
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
The mobilisation of energy from allocthonous carbon by heterotrophic bacterioplankton can be proportionally more important than autotrophic production in humic lakes. Moreover, increasing levels of dissolved organic carbon ...
