And we highlight how these varying classification schemes can dramatically impact other fields that might be using these limnological ideas, such remote sensing.

We also looked at how our understanding of regional water quality can change when you apply different classification schemes at national scales.

We recreated figures from Wetzel’s Limnology text to see how fundamental ideas, such as clinograde and orthograde Temperature and DO curves, shake out when you apply various trophic state classification schemes.
