Water Chemistry Of The North And South Basins Of Conesus Lake, Joseph Makarewicz, Isidro Bosch, Theodore Lewis
Water Chemistry Of The North And South Basins Of Conesus Lake, Joseph Makarewicz, Isidro Bosch, Theodore Lewis
Joseph C Makarewicz
The objective of this study was to determine if there were differences in the chemistry of the north and south basins of Conesus Lake during the summer stratification period. To achieve this objective, water samples were taken from 18 May to 2 November 2000 from both basins.

In recognition of the need to acquire a uniform, organized approach to addressing surface water degradation and given the diverse nature of non-point sources of pollution, the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board organized the Oneida Lake and Watershed Task Force. The Task Force is an alliance of agencies, organizations, elected officials, and citizens interested in the protection of water resources in the Oneida Lake Watershed. Because of the increased population and development pressure and because of water quality concerns south of Oneida Lake, monitoring of southern tributaries of Oneida Lake was initiated first. The intent is to …
Structure And Function Of The Zooplankton Community Of Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, Joseph Makarewicz, Gene Likens
Structure And Function Of The Zooplankton Community Of Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, Joseph Makarewicz, Gene Likens
Joseph C Makarewicz
An intensive study of the zooplankton community of Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, was undertaken over a 3-yr period. Our objectives in the lake study have included measurements of a number of attributes of the zooplankton community that integrate structure and function at the ecosystem level; among these are dispersion, biomass, productivity, respiration, and nutrient cycling. Eight species of rotifers and 3 species of cladocerans were successfully cultured. Generation time for planktonic rotifers was -8-10 days (170C). The effect of higher food levels on rotifers was to shorten generation time and to increase brood size. In cladocerans, high food levels caused …
Understanding The Role Of Phosphorus In Lakes, Isidro Bosch, Joseph Makarewicz
Understanding The Role Of Phosphorus In Lakes, Isidro Bosch, Joseph Makarewicz

We believe it is important to regard the lake proper as two separate habitats, the offshore and the coastal zone. Over the last 15 years conditions along the coastal zone in Conesus Lake have deteriorated significantly, following a trend that has been documented in the Great Lakes and other Finger Lakes after the invasion of zebra mussels. Meanwhile the offshore zone has remained mildly eutrophic over the last 25 years (high in nutrients and algal biomass). While this is an undesirable state in terms of water quality, monitoring data provides no indication that the offshore system is becoming increasingly eutrophic.

The 2002 Oneida Lake and tributary monitoring program of the Oswego Soil and Water Conservation District (SCWD) is an expansion of the monitoring program that took place in the southern region tributaries of Oneida Lake from 1999 to 2000 by the Central New York Regional Planning Board (CNYRPB)(See Makarewicz and Lewis 2000a, 2003). Phase I of the 2002-2003 program of the CNYRPB involved sampling at the base of the primary tributaries flowing into Oneida Lake (including Big Bay, Scriba, East Branch of Fish, Lower Fish, Wood, Oneida, Cowaselon, Canaseraga, Chittenango, Limestone, and Butternut Creeks). As an extension of the Oneida …
Release And Transport Of Nutrients From Livestock Manure Applied To Pastureland, Michelle L. Soupir, Saied Mostaghimi, Eugene R. Yagow, David H. Vaughan
Release And Transport Of Nutrients From Livestock Manure Applied To Pastureland, Michelle L. Soupir, Saied Mostaghimi, Eugene R. Yagow, David H. Vaughan

Land applications of manure from confined animal systems and direct deposit by grazing animals are both major sources of nutrients in streams. An understanding of the overland transport mechanisms from land applied waste is needed to improve design of best management practices and modeling of NPS pollution. Release and transport plots were established to study in-field nutrient release and transport from pasturelands receiving phosphorus based livestock waste applications. The release plots determined the concentrations available to be transported to the edge of the field in runoff. Four manure treatments (turkey litter, liquid dairy manure, standard cowpies, and none) and three …
