9520704 KERFOOT Groundwater exchange across the bottom of lakes plays a crucial role in the structure of the benthic community at this interface. This project will utilize a novel in situ chamber designed to determine the importance of groundwater fluxes on benthic communities and processes. The chamber allows free exchange of water, or the chambers allow blockage of this exchange across this dynamic interface. Translocation experiments will be performed with these new chambers to determine how nutrients delivered by groundwater influence the biota at the benthic interface and how this process affects within-lake biodiversity.

湖底地下水交换在该界面的底栖生物群落结构中起着至关重要的作用。该项目将利用一种新的原位室来确定地下水通量对底栖生物群落和过程的重要性。腔室允许水自由交换，或者腔室允许在这个动态界面上进行这种交换。将对这些新箱进行转运实验，以确定地下水输送的营养物质如何影响底栖生物界面的生物区系，以及这一过程如何影响湖内生物多样性。
