| Abstract | A multidisciplinary, integrated study of acidification of a 45-acre lake (Little Rock Lake) in Vilas Co., Wisconsin was begun on August 1, 1983. Two nearly-equal basins of the lake will be separated by a removable plastic barrier and one basin acidified while the other serves as a simultaneous reference or control. The basic experimental design consists of a two-year preacidification (baseline condition) study period, a 4-year incremental acidification phase, and a one or more year recovery phase. |
