Weichwasserseen im brandenburgischen Jungmoränenland. Hydrochemie und Makrophytenbesiedlung

In the literature, there are currently few concrete characteristics to comprehensively identify soft water lakes, and often only clearly low-calcium and low-base lakes are used to characterize this group of lakes. This work provides a definition of soft water lakes based on various parameters and discusses it in relation to previous classification approaches. For a comprehensive evaluation of the characteristics of low-base and low-calcium soft water lakes, approximately 11,000 limnochemical and limnophysical datasets from around 2,000 lakes in Brandenburg were analyzed. Additionally, the macrophyte colonization of the soft water lakes was investigated.
