Wind Exposure Regulates Water Oxygenation in Densely Vegetated Shallow Lakes
The presence of dense macrophyte canopies in shallow lakes locally generates thermal stratification and the buildup of labile organic matter, which in turn stimulate the biological oxygen demand. The occurrence of hypoxic conditions may, however, be buffered by strong wind episodes, which favor wate...
