Oxygen in Lakes North of the Tree Line: A Review (Northwater Consultants, May 2001)
Email transmittal and review paper "Oxygen in Lakes North of the Tree Line — A Review" forwarded by Zabey Nevitt (Independent Environmental Monitoring Agency, monitor@yk.com) to Robin Staples (May 23 / 31 2001), originally from Camille Douglas (BHP) referencing work by H.E. Welch. Discusses winter respiration rates of Canadian Arctic lakes (0.08-0.45 g O2/m²/d), winter oxygen depletion, P&N Lake oxygen isopleths (Welch and Legault 1986), and the ~2-3 mg/L dissolved-oxygen threshold below which most Arctic fish die. References Welch, Dillon, Sreedharan, and Saqvaqjuac NWT studies.
