What is the limiting factor in oligotrophic lakes?

Biology

wlad13 [49]3 years ago

<span>Populations of algae and the animals that feed on them are lower in oligotrophic lakes because of low nutrient concentrations. Thus the water remains clear. The decay of the relatively small amount of organic matter in oligotrophic lakes does not completely deplete the hypolimnetic supply of dissolved oxygen. Therefore, lack of oxygen does not restrict animals from living in the hypolimnion of oligotrophic lakes. Lake trout, for example, require cold, well-oxygenated water and primarily live in the hypolimnion of oligotrophic lakes. Minnesota's oligotrophic lakes are found in the northeast region of the state, where infertile soils are covered with mixed conifer forests.</span>

What affects do islands have on animal size
Sever21 [200]

There's two effects that the islands have on the size of the animals, reducing of size, or increasing of size. The reducing of size is known as island dwarfism, while the increase in size is known island gigantism.

The effect of the island environment effects different types of animals in different manner, and it also has to be taken in account the size of the island. In general, the small animals tend to increase their size on the islands, while the large animals tend to decrease in size. The reason for this is that the smaller animals, because of the isolation, usually lack predators or they are very few, but also have sufficient amounts of food, thus they grow in size. The larger animals though, decrease their size because there isn't enough food on the islands to support them, thus with the decrease in size they consume less. Also, since they usually lack predators, they do not have to be large in order to defend themselves.
