Lake Mendota has often been called "the most studied lake in the
world. " Beginning in the "classic" period of limnology in the late
19th century and continuing through the present time, this lake has
been the subject of a wide variety of studies. Although many of
these studies have been published in accessible journals, a
significant number have appeared in local monographs and reports,
ephemeral documents, or poorly distributed journals. To date, there
has been no attempt at a synthetic treatment ofthe vast amount of
work that has been published. One intent of the present book is to
present a com prehensive compilation of the major early studies on
Lake Mendota and to examine how they impinge on important
present-day biological questions. In addition, this book presents a
summary of field and laboratory work carried out in my own
laboratory over a period of about 6 years and shows where
correlations with earlier work exist. The book should be ofinterest
to limnologists desiring a ready reference to data and published
papers on this important lake, to biogeochemists, ocean ographers,
and low-temperature geochemists interested in lakes as model sys
tems for global processes, and to lake managers interested in
understanding short-term and long-term changes in lake systems.
Although the major thrust ofthe present book is ecologicaland
environmental, sufficient background has been presented on other
aspects ofLake Mendota's limnology so that the book should also be
useful to nonbiologists."
