Lakes
Oligotrophic lakes are deep. cold, and clear, with low nutrient levels and small amounts of plankton (microscopic plants and animals). Eutrophic lakes are shallower (to 10 feet), warm and colored, with high nutrient levels, abundant plank ton, and much aquatic vegetation. Dystrophic lakes are the shallowest (usually less than 5 feet), warm, and brown, with high nutrient levels, abundant plankton, and vegetation established in the shallow water around the entire shore.
