Lake 227

[1] Funding and governmental permissions for access to Lake 227 have been unstable in recent years, as control of the ELA was handed off by the Canadian government to the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).

[2] The removal of fish from the lake negates the top-down effect that repressed larger species of zooplankton and aquatic larvae.

[2] The results of these experiments hold widespread implications for future limnological research in this area, and for the control of lake eutrophication.

[10] Past abundances of zooplankton were also determined from the sediment deposits, and this data was used to speculate about the development of trophic levels in freshwater lakes in relation to planktivorous fish species.

[11] David W. Schindler (August 3, 1940 – March 4, 2021) was a leading member of the limnological community from the 1950s into the contemporary era, known particularly for his work in the Experimental Lakes Area.

[12] Schindler was involved with the majority of relevant studies in lake 227 to come out in the past several decades, including many of the papers discussed in the research section of this article.

Schindler was a universally revered figure in the research and academic communities, and his contributions were key in shaping the field of limnology, and freshwater ecology at large.
