| dc.description.abstract | <p>All nine lakes studied are small (mean area 32 ha), shallow (deep), water table exposures in thin dunes overlying laterite or sandstone. Their water is fresh (mean salinity 52 mg 1˜'), acid (mean pH 4• 8) and dominated by Na+ and Cl-, but with appreciable amounts of Ca2+, Mg2+ and HCO3-. Almost all macrophytes, littoral invertebrates, fish and limnetic zooplankters are common tropical species. A few species are shared with dune lakes in southern Australia and even fewer are endemic. Hence, these tropical dune lakes are different from those in temperate and subtropical eastern Australia. © CSIRO 1986.</p> | |
