Relationship between the Chemistry of Minnesota Surface Waters and Wildlife Management
Moyle JB. 1956. Relationship between the Chemistry of Minnesota Surface Waters and Wildlife Management. The Journal of Wildlife Management. 20(3):303-320
Relationships between chemical quality of fresh waters and associated geological, climatic, and biological phenomena have long been of interest to aquatic biologists. Minnesota is especially favorably located for such observations because of varied climate and geology and a resulting wide range in the chemical quality of surface waters. Studies of regional water chemistry of Minnesota lakes have been carried out in Minnesota since 1935 and, has been reported earlier, patterns of water chemistry are evident that are associated with biological patterns. The relationships noted are general and geographic in nature and should be applied with caution to individual waters. Water chemistry is only one of many factors which affect the productivity of lakes.
