The Knoll lab explores lake dynamics and aquatic-watershed connections. Our research uses a variety of long-term data sets, field and lab experiments, large-scale lakes studies, and automated sensors to answer questions of community and ecosystem ecology. Current research focuses on Acton Lake in southwestern Ohio, a hypereutrophic reservoir, and lower productivity lakes in the Pocono Mountains region of the northeastern United States. The research on both of these lake systems contributes to multi-decadal data sets as a part of NSF-sponsored LTREB projects.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Current research themes include: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1) variable winter and spring conditions (e.g., ice cover, rainfall) and phytoplankton community dynamics and ecosystem-level processes <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
2) consequences of long-term browning on lake ecosystems <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
3) effects of resource subsidies on freshwater ecosystems<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
4) combined stressors of fish oxythermal habitat<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Acton Lake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Acton Lake research includes long term collection sites both within the lake and inflowing streams. Limnological data<\/a> on Acton Lake have been collected since 1992, and continues as a part of an NSF-sponsored LTREB grant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ecology Research Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Miami University’s Ecology Research Center<\/a> is located a short distance from campus and offers opportunities for aquatic research using experimental ponds and mesocosms.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Pocono Lakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of a collaborative NSF-sponsored LTREB project, our lab is working on a 35+ year data set<\/a> on lakes in the Pocono Lakes region of northeastern Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
