The Missing Link: The Ecology of the Serpentine and its implications for East and North Ponds Thursday, December 08, 6:30pm East Pond and North Pond are part of the Belgrade Lake system and have been studied, on and off, by previous environmental studies classes. It is well known that East Pond experiences severe algae blooms and the frequency and regularity of these blooms seems to be increasing annually. North Pond, however, does not experience these widespread algae blooms. To date, the research on these ponds, as well as on the Belgrade Lakes in general, has focused on describing the lakes as stand-alone systems. Students in this course set out to describe the role of the Serpentine, a slow, meandering stream, as a connective system between East and North Ponds. |
