| Abstract: | Changes in the limnology of two saline lakes, Lake Lenore and Soap Lake, in the lower Grand Coulee, Washington, between 1949
and the present are described.
This paper is an abbreviated version of Chapter 11 in: W.T. Edmondson,The Uses of Ecology: Lake Washington and Beyond, pp. 209–226. University of Washington Press, Seattle. The book is based upon lectures given by the author inthe Jessie and John Danz Lectures. The considerable interest of studies on Lake Lenore and Soap Lake in the lower Grand Coulee, the authoritative account of
these studies in the book, and the possibility that this account would not easily attract the attention of limnologists who
study salt lakes were behind the decision to reproduce the chapter. Its reproduction has been graciously permitted by the
author and the University of Washington Press. This permission is gratefully acknowledged. Whilst only Chapters 11 and 5 (Mono
Lake) directly concern salt lakes, the book as a whole is an outstanding account of how limnological studies (with focus on
those of Lake Washington) can serve humanity Ed. |
