Back to Strecker Lab site. The Discovery of Overnight Reaeration in Small Ponds. September 7, 2016. Shows that’s not the case. Small forested ponds are subject to overnight oxygen invasion. Wood frogs can bob for air to tolerate low oxygen levels in the water. Zooplankton reduce filtering rates under very low oxygen conditions. A study led by Meredith Holgerson. A post-doctoral fellow in the Strecker Lab) describes the discovery that oxygen concentrations can increase. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. You are...

Back to Strecker Lab site. Reservoirs a major source of greenhouse gases. October 18, 2016. Tracking global greenhouse gas emissions is necessary to accurately predict and manage effects of climate change. A recent study found that reservoirs are a larger source of greenhouse gas emissions than previously thought. The study, published in BioScience. Found that reservoirs associated with dams release carbon dioxide (CO. And nitrous oxide (N. Equivalents annually, 79% of which comes from CH. These findings...
