Comparison of methods to determine algal δ13C in freshwater (2008, background): “Considering the range of pH typically observed in lakes [6 to 9 (Kalff 2002)], bicarbonate may be the main form of carbon within DIC and may also be the primary carbon source for aquatic plants (Talling 1976, Allen and Spence 1981, Maberly and Spence 1983), even in slightly acidic mediums with…”
Nutrients and water temperature are significant predictors of cyanobacterial biomass in a 1147 lakes data set (2013, background): “Reservoirs are known to have shorter water residence times and are subject to larger water-level fluctuations relative to lakes (Kalff 2002), and cyanobacteria are known to be sensitive to water residence time (Carvalho et al. 2011).”
Emerging global role of small lakes and ponds: little things mean a lot (2010, background): “This area is nearly twice that assumed by several others (Schlesinger 1997, Kalff 2001, Wetzel 2001, Shiklomanov &Rodda 2003) and the area is more strongly dominated by small lakes and ponds (Fig.”
Freshwater diatom biogeography in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (2004, background): “5 where bicarbonate is the dominant form of carbon (Table 1; Kalff, 2002).”
