Lake secondary production fueled by rapid transfer of low molecular weight organic carbon from terrestrial sources to aquatic consumers. Ecology Letters, 13, 870–880. 10.1111/j.1461-0248.2010.01483.x The mystery element is clever, haunting and unpredictable – I loved the setting, descriptively speaking the author puts you right there and the surroundings added to the slightly melancholy feeling the narrative gave, that emotional core that I love to find in a book.

A debut novel set in a small Australian town, The Dark Lake is a police procedural with a hefty dose of romantic tension. Dissolved organic matter in headwater streams: Compositional variability across climatic regions of North America. Geochimica (Beijing)Et Cosmochimica Acta, 94, 95–108. 10.1016/j.gca.2012.06.031 Gemma’s determined to work Rosalind’s case – worried however her past relationship with the victim will see the case turned over to colleagues – but she’s a favourite of her boss, Jonesy thanks to a case she doggedly pursued and (kinda inadvertently) unearthed early into her career. Inputs of terrestrially derived organic matter (t‐OM) are a major driver in lake ecosystems, but the ecological consequences of changes in their quantity and quality remain poorly understood (Solomon et al., 2015). Nearly a third of all the terrestrial carbon (C) input into inland waters is buried into lake sediments (Tranvik et al., 2009). Much of this burial, especially of larger particulate material, occurs in nearshore environments of small lakes through mechanisms including sedimentation and flocculation, where heavier matter and coagulated dissolved organic matter (DOM) fall out of suspension and accumulate (von Wachenfeldt & Tranvik, 2008; Wurtsbaugh et al., 2002). However, littoral sediments remain understudied relative to pelagic environments, especially in the context of future changes to t‐OM exports. Terrestrial organic matter is increasingly exported into receiving waters, due to mechanisms including declines in anthropogenic sulfur deposition (Evans, Monteith, & Cooper, 2005; Monteith et al., 2007) and increases in terrestrial primary production (Freeman, Ostle, Fenner, & Kang, 2004) and soil decomposition (Findlay, 2005), and should thereby enhance sedimentation (Kritzberg et al., 2014; von Wachenfeldt, Sobek, Bastviken, & Tranvik, 2008). Additionally, northward shifts in deciduous forests (Boisvert‐Marsh, Perie, & Blois, 2014), and the spread of fires and insect outbreaks (Schindler & Lee, 2010), are expected to change the composition of t‐OM that will be buried into receiving waters (e.g., Jaffé et al., 2012).Grizedale Forest and Whinlatter Forest are usually only open during daylight hours but they often run night-time events. Keep an eye on the car park closing times, during the months with shorter days, you can stay at the forests after sunset. Functional genes involved in OM degradation were relatively more abundant in the dark than clear lake. Genes considered were those involved in (a) oxidase activity, which includes the sum of peroxidase and catechol, 1‐2‐dioxygenase gene abundances, (b) aromatic catabolism, (c) oxidoreductase activity, and (d) hydrolase activity, which is the sum of glucosidase, cellobiosidase, and xylosidase gene abundances. The line indicates a 1:1 ratio. Points above or below the line indicate a higher abundance of genes in the clear and dark lake, respectively Winter is the season when the nights are longest and coldest, so you don’t have to stay up too late to see beautiful views

Comprehensive conservation planning to protect biodiversity and ecosystem services in Canadian boreal regions under a warming climate and increasing exploitation. Biological Conservation, 143, 1571–1586. 10.1016/j.biocon.2010.04.003 Keegan-Dolan’s Swan Lake ditches royalty and romance, Tchaikovsky and fairytale trappings, yet burrows into the original’s keening heart. His hero may be no prince, but is equally lost and burdened by his mother’s expectations. His heroine and her companions are not glamorous ballerinas in feathery tiaras, but abused women who are transformed into birds to ensure their silence, to obliterate their distress and fury. This viciously corrupt and broken society shoves the vulnerable to the margins and Keegan-Dolan stages what may be Ireland’s least enjoyable knees-up.this a a fine debut mystery novel, and a good one to read during these long heatwave days of summer, but claiming it is “a suspense thriller to rival tana french” is bananas. buh. nan. uhs. The Kuo-Toa town is great in how it portrays the fish-men and their way of life. It is critical to narrate the little details about this town’s inhabitants that make them so unique and alien. Here is a list of the particular differences the Kuo-Toa have: We’ve also created an in-depth guide to Walla Crag . But would urge people to only do this walk at night if they’re very confident and experienced walkers. The Dark Lake” is told in in alternating timelines: the present and the past and is told mainly from Gemma’s POV. She isn’t a very like-able character, nor is the character of Felix or Scott for that matter, but for some reason that didn’t stop me from liking the book. Somehow, the mystery itself kept me engrossed. Gemma’s past was intriguing. That got me. All I can say is that this was an entertaining mystery/suspense and it’s one I recommend. Increase of atmospheric CO2 promotes phytoplankton productivity. Ecology Letters, 7, 446–451. 10.1111/j.1461-0248.2004.00597.x

I found this a compelling slow burner, very much character focused but with a truly interesting and intriguing storyline that I was desperate to find out who murdered Rosalind. I was pleasantly surprised at the ending which fit perfect and came together seamlessly. Phenol oxidase, peroxidase and organic matter dynamics of soil. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 42, 391–404. 10.1016/j.soilbio.2009.10.014 I want to be alone. I brake suddenly, seeing a red light just in time. Felix throws me a look but I keep my gaze on the road. Rosalind Ryan is dead. Rosalind Ryan is dead, I think, over and over. And then I think that somehow I always knew that something like this would happen. Set in between a burst of mountain ranges, Smithson is a little oasis of greenery in the middle of endless fawn-coloured acres of Aussie farmland. Smithson is known for ‘catching the rain’ that runs from the mountains, which is ironic as it’s the surrounding farms that actually need it. It’s changed a lot over the past decade. Carling Enterprises, a major cannery business, built a manufacturing plant on the outskirts of the town in the late nineties, just as I was finishing school. At some point before 22 June 1691, the Japanese Wizard Dai Ryusaki created the crown of Crown of Mneme and hid it at Hogwarts, creating the Cursed Vaults to protect it and building the Sunken Vault in the bottom of the lake as the resting place of the artefact.Photochemical alteration of dissolved organic matter and the subsequent effects on bacterial carbon cycling and diversity. FEMS Microbial Ecology, 95, fiw048 The reason I think it stumbled a bit as a mystery/detective story was that some of the clues and findings were left just dangling and I was slightly disappointed in the ending—although right up until that point, the writing and story and characters were excellent.

Rosalind's enigmas frustrate and obsess Gemma, who has her own dangerous secrets--an affair with her colleague and past tragedies that may not stay in the past.
