Vertical redistribution of zooplankton in an oligotrophic lake associated with reduction in ultraviolet radiation by wil...
Published in Geophysical Research Letters
We used a natural experiment to test whether wildfire smoke induced changes in the vertical distribution of zooplankton in Lake Tahoe by decreasing incident ultraviolet radiation (UV). Fires have a variety of effects on aquatic ecosystems, but these impacts are poorly understood and have rarely been observed directly. UV is an important driver of z...
