“…The lake is in a closed, sheltered watershed with no natural surface tributaries, it holds an approximate volume of 1 450 510 m 3 , and has a surface area or water mirror of 11.4 ha. Its mean depth is 12.7 m, its maximum depth is 30 m and its relative depth is 7.9% (Rivera et al . 2005).…”

“…Concerning phytoplankton, rich desmidiaceae assemblages is a feature of many high-mountain tropical lakes that is lacking in temperate ones (Banderas-Tarabay et al, 1991;Rivera et al, 2005). The reason may be multivariate.…”

“…It has a small, wooded topographic catchment (area: 0.67km 2 ). Rivera et al (2005) also revealed the presence of a steep chemical gradient in the lake, separating the upper and lower water masses and confining photosynthetic production to the insolated part of the water column (Zapata 2001); carbon fixation rates in the order 24-165mgC/m 2 .d were consistent with those said to typify oligoproductive lakes.…”

“…Even in this particular region, there are inevitable logistic difficulties in organizing and sustaining relevant systematic field studies. In the end, the results of an earlier survey of one of these lakes (Zapata 2001, Rivera et al 2005, Donato 2010) were decisive in selecting Laguna Guatavita as the site for the present study.…”
