Large lakes in conditions of Earth's polar and moderate latitudes.

Abstract

The large lakes of arctic, subarctic and taiga zones with area of more than 500 km2 were selected for the analysis of formation and functioning of the lakes' ecosystems in relation to geographical latitude. The total of 30 lakes was considered: 1 in the arctic zone, 9 in subarctic and 20 in taiga. Although the level of limnolo-gic data significantly differed from lake to lake, the dependence was quite clearly educed between the structure of a lake ecosystem and factors coming from the latitude (climate, air and water temperatures) as well as geological peculiarities of catchment areas and morphometry of lake beds. Hydrochemical and hydrobiological conditions of lakes are closely connected with these factors, though the anthropogenic action that is more frequent in taiga may disturb the natural indices of lakes' condition, which was also taken into consideration in its portrayal.
