Based on data from long-term observation, Dr. Chih-Yu Chiu and his team at the Biodiversity Research Center employed a three-dimensional environmental model to analyze the hydraulic retention effect on the net ecosystem production (NEP) of two shallow montane lakes. The research showed that Tsui-Fong Lake (a mesotrophic lake) is substantially higher in both NEP and carbon sink functions than Yuang-Yang Lake (an oligotrophic lake). It also concluded that typhoon-induced mixing plays a critical role in controlling the NEP and carbon sinks in Taiwan shallow subtropical lakes.<\/p>\n
