Physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the Turkey Lakes Watershed, central Ontario, Canada / Dean S. Jeffries, John R.M. Kelso, Ian K. Morrison.: En13-5/87-102E-PDF
"As an introduction to the special volume on "acid rain" studies in the Turkey Lakes Watershed, Algoma, Ontario, this paper summarizes basin characteristics in order to establish the field setting in which the research was originally initiated and continues to this day. Basic information on climatology and basin geomorphology as well as general geology, and aquatic and terrestrial chemistry are presented. The latter includes a brief discussion of observed spatial variability and comparison with other calibrated watersheds. Aquatic biology includes descriptive information on fish, benthos, plankton, and primary production. The section on the terrestrial portion of the watershed includes information on dominant vegetation types, characterization of the basic forest dimensions, and a comparison of foliar element concentration with those observed in a similar forest at Hubbard Brook, New Hampshire"--Abstract.
