Descripción
Sumario:In this study the authors analyze physical and chemical conditions of the water and sedimentin the Zempoala Lake during an annual cycle. This lake can be considered monomictic. The dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide presented values that indicate a decomposition process mainly in some areas of the shore and in the bottom of the lake, which is related to the concentration of organic matter; it is considered that the continuous process of eutrophicationis caused by a diversity of reasons, and distinct differences between the tropholitic and thetrophogenic area are observed in this lake. The sediment is characterized as rich in organicmatter, with areas where the pH tends to be more acidic and presents varying quantities of nutrients depending on the degree of decomposition of the detritus. The conditions and dynamics of the sediment, consistent throughout the lake, indicate that it is a productive system with atendency toward eutrophication.
