Effects of thermocline deepening on lake plankton communities (2011, methodology): “…are consistent with other studies of mixing depth effects on phytoplankton, both in models and mesocosm experiments (Diehl 2002; Diehl et al. 2002; Berger et al. 2006), and support the idea that sinking losses dominate at shallow thermocline depths while light limits when thermoclines become too…”
Stoichiometrically Explicit Food Webs: Feedbacks between Resource Supply, Elemental Constraints, and Species Diversity (2009, background): “…of light enrichment most likely emerges in shallower systems, and the added realism may help explain some experimental results in planktonic systems (Sterner et al. 1998, Urabe et al. 2002a,b) and contrasting patterns between deeper lakes (Berger et al. 2006) and shallow ponds (Hall et al. 2007a).”
Influence of water‐column depth and mixing on phytoplankton biomass, community composition, and nutrients (2008, background): “…may therefore be taken up (and stored) by phytoplankton even if production is light limited, leading to pronounced differences in algal C : P—and less pronounced differences in mineral nutrient concentration—among well-mixed water columns of different depths (Diehl et al. 2005; Berger et al. 2006).”
