Abstract

During two winters, the benthic invertebrates in a shallow northern Swedish lake (66 Β°N) were studied. The lake is ice‐covered for about 200 days a year. Live Lamellibranchiata, Oligochaeta. Hydracarina, Isopoda, Heteroptera, Cole optera and Diptera were found in samples of ice and of frozen lake‐bottom sediments. During the winter in which the bottom froze deepest, a 70–90% decrease in numbers of live Chironomidae larvae was recorded between the autumn and following early spring.

A helicopter survey was carried out on 56 water bodies in the Abisko mountains, Swedish Lapland, in August 1981. Water chemistry was found to be highly correlated with bedrock quality in the drainage area of the lakes. Low pH values (down to 5.1) appeared in the neighbourhood of sulphuric iron-ores.

The muskrat (Ondatra zibethica (L.)) utilizes emergent hydrophytes both for housebuilding and for food. The impact of these activities on stands of Equisetum fluviatile L. in a northern Swedish lake was investigated. The areas of open water created by the muskrats were estimated from infrared air ph
