About this deal

Whole‐lake experiments reveal the fate of terrestrial particulate organic carbon in benthic food webs of shallow lakes. Ecology, 95, 1496–1505. 10.1890/13-0390.1 Ectoenzyme activity and bacterial secondary production in nutrient‐impoverished and nutrient‐enriched freshwater mesocosms. Microbial Ecology, 25, 131–150. 10.1007/BF00177191 There are a few undercurrents simmering this book, including themes around grief, loss, love and contentment. Gemma’s home life is a bit of a mess, creating a very flawed, damaged character. Maybe a little too damaged. I admit I grew weary of all her angst and drama, along with some of her actions. Readers who prefer likable characters (I’m not one of those), will be disappointed. When the long held secret is finally revealed Gemma’s emotional state suddenly all made perfect sense, although some of her actions still made me want to shake some sense into her. Thankfully, the ending gives the reader a little hope that things will turn around for Gemma in the next book. Nobody comes off lightly in The Dark Lake. All the characters have something to hide, something that’s torturing them, and something that keeps them orbiting the supposed safety of home.

reflective pool that mirrors the teenage angst and plenty of underage boozing conjoined with adult complexities and emotions. It is considered a sincere show of faith to regurgitate at the feet of any shrine of the mother of the sea, as she is a scavenger god. I thank you and I hope this guide was useful to you and proved a factor in making your OoTA game a better experience for you as a DM and also for your players. You can buy it here Lily Evans and her school friends were also said to dangle their legs over the water, which could mean that there were no rules whilst they were in school against swimming in the lake. [15] Traditions [ ] Experimental insights into the importance of aquatic bacterial community composition to the degradation of dissolved organic matter. The ISME Journal, 10, 533–545. 10.1038/ismej.2015.131Allochthonous carbon is a major regulator to bacterial growth and community composition in subarctic freshwaters. Nature Scientific Reports, 6, 34456 Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) in the microbiological world: How to make the most of your money. Journal of Microbiological Methods, 138, 60–71. 10.1016/j.mimet.2016.02.016 Complete and partial photo‐oxidation of dissolved organic matter draining permafrost soils. Environmental Science and Technology, 50, 3545–3553. 10.1021/acs.est.5b05354 Keegan-Dolan’s Swan Lake ditches royalty and romance, Tchaikovsky and fairytale trappings, yet burrows into the original’s keening heart. His hero may be no prince, but is equally lost and burdened by his mother’s expectations. His heroine and her companions are not glamorous ballerinas in feathery tiaras, but abused women who are transformed into birds to ensure their silence, to obliterate their distress and fury. This viciously corrupt and broken society shoves the vulnerable to the margins and Keegan-Dolan stages what may be Ireland’s least enjoyable knees-up.

Our analysis of sediment pore water at the interface between sediments and the overlying water column in a dark and a clear lake shows that environmental conditions interact with community composition to control the functioning of bacterial communities and ultimately their responses to t‐OM additions. Despite the same t‐OM being added to the experimental sediments in each lake, biogeochemical processing differed. More DOC and CO 2 and less aromatic DOM was produced in the sediment pore water of the clear lake than in the dark lake. The bacterial community in the dark lake had higher relative abundances of functional genes related to t‐OM decomposition, enabling greater enzyme activity. A relatively lower abundance of these functional genes limited the bacterial response to aromatic DOM in the clear lake. The overall higher amount of CO 2 production in the clear lake suggested that the bacterial community instead mineralized the photo‐oxidized, LMW DOM (Hessen, 1992; Moran & Zepp, 1997). Mineralization likely arose because of nutrient limitation relative to the dark lake, where terrestrial nutrient inputs were higher and bacterial production could be sustained at a higher overall level (Figure ​ (Figure2f; 2f; López‐Urrutia & Morán, 2007; Reche et al., 1998). As future influxes of t‐OM increase across boreal lakes (Creed et al., 2018; Sobek et al., 2009), these water clarity‐dependent responses suggest CO 2 release may be greater in clear lakes with high levels of photo‐oxidation at the sediment surface (Lapierre, Guillemette, Breggren, & del Giorgio, 2013). Dark lakes may instead experience a decrease in primary production and shift toward retaining rather than mineralizing terrestrial carbon, such as by burying it in sediment (Gudasz et al., 2017; Isidorova et al., 2015; Seekell et al., 2015). However, over the longer term, the darkening of clear lakes will reduce light exposure on the sediment surface, increasing OM burial and encouraging bacterial communities to develop in sediment pore water that can utilize this material (Judd, Crump, & Kling, 2007; Rofner et al., 2017). My preference was to create a fictional town so that I had complete freedom with the geography. I also didn’t want to worry about causing offence to anyone. I liked the idea of Smithson being a truly generic Aussie town, hence the ‘Smith’ reference. I travelled a lot as a child and it is based on a amalgamation of dozens of towns we passed through or stayed in.

Fluorescence spectroscopy opens new windows into dissolved organic matter dynamics in freshwater ecosystems: A review. Limnology and Oceanography, 55, 2452–2462. 10.4319/lo.2010.55.2452

Given that the sky after Harry and Dumbledore completed their skirmish here was described as 'starry', [8] it is likely that this cave was located somewhere on the south coast; that's more than far south enough to get astronomical twilight around the summer solstice, and the sky gets darker there than it does further north. If one goes far north enough, it doesn't get dark enough for the sky to be 'starry' in the Northern Hemisphere around the summer solstice. Gradient‐dominated ecosystems: Sources and regulatory functions of dissolved organic matter in fresh water ecosystems. Hydrobiologia, 229, 181–198. 10.1007/BF00007000 The school is the epicentre of all of this. It’s where the victim and the investigator first met, it’s where they came to know each other, and it’s where they met many of the people who go on to become part of their story. It’s also the place Rosalind returned to, where she attempted to forge an identity, and ultimately where everything came undone. I would recommend this book to crime and thriller readers of all ages and I'd happily read more by this author again, I like her writing style and found the whole book an enjoyable read.I enjoyed this debut novel and will be interested to see if Bailey continues the series. She’s given us some interesting and likeable characters – in Gemma, as well as her boss Jonesy, local reporter Candy, medical examiner Anna as well as Gemma’s father – and I’d certainly enjoy meeting them again.

Linking allochthonous dissolved organic matter and boreal lake sediment carbon sequestration: The role of light‐mediated flocculation. Limnology and Oceanography, 53, 2416–2426. 10.4319/lo.2008.53.6.2416 This is an Australian crime novel set in a small town in New South Wales during a particularly trying summer. As with any small town, everyone knows everyone, though there are plenty of secrets. The murder of a local girl forces everyone's business under the microscope, and this novel is as much about those secrets as it is about solving the mystery of who killed Rosalind Ryan. Organic carbon burial efficiency in lake sediments controlled by oxygen exposure time and sediment source. Limnology and Oceanography, 54, 2243–2254. 10.4319/lo.2009.54.6.2243They don’t stay still, like fish swimming, they keep moving, even when being talked to, they might “swim” around the person or “swim” away expecting the person to follow them, like in a school of fish. I admire people that research for months before they write a word of their novels but that would never work for me, I am simply too impatient.
