Using elevation to define lakes as "alpine"[edit]
It seems like the literature refers to many lakes as "alpine" well below 2700 m. For example, alpine lakes in the Alps may be as low as 500 m above sea level. A better definition probably refers to mountain geography, water sources, etc. Kw9793 (talk) 23:13, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
UV avoidance by algae at high altitude[edit]
Anyone else come across this in their readings? Apparently deep primary production is a feature of clear alpine lakes, seems like it could be a unique thing to add. Kw9793 (talk) 19:24, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
