Abstract

The chemical composition of meromictic lakemeromictic lake waters varies widely. Concentrations of total dissolved substancestotal dissolved substances (TDSTDS ) range from very low (300 g L−1), i.e. saturated with respect to particular salts. pH varies from acidic (10), and redox conditions range from well oxygenated and dominated by high concentrations of dissolved ferric iron (Eh about 600 mV in iron-rich acidic pit lakes) to strongly reduced (Eh
