Epilimnion

Index Epilimnion

The epilimnion or surface layer is the top-most layer in a thermally stratified lake, occurring above the deeper hypolimnion. [1]

8 relations: Carbon dioxide, Hypolimnion, Lake, Lake stratification, Oxygen, Oxygen saturation, PH, Phytoplankton.

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula) is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air.

Hypolimnion

The hypolimnion or under lake is the dense, bottom layer of water in a thermally-stratified lake.

Lake

A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake.

Oxygen saturation

Oxygen saturation (symbol SO2) is a relative measure of the concentration of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in a given medium as a proportion of the maximal concentration that can be dissolved in that medium.

PH

In chemistry, pH is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

Phytoplankton

Phytoplankton are the autotrophic (self-feeding) components of the plankton community and a key part of oceans, seas and freshwater basin ecosystems.
