  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Addresses the significance of changes in summer&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;thermal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;stratification&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;patterns of Adirondack&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;lakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;affected by acidification to cold-water fish populations inhabiting these sensitive&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;lakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis is the primary cold-water fish species indigenous to acid-sensitive&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;lakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the Adirondack region of N New York State; the ability of these&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;lakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;to sustain this important sport species is highly dependent on the availability of adequate summer habitat, consisting of cool, well-oxygenated water. Brook trout populations presently most susceptible to negative effects from acidification-induced increases in transparency and consequent reductions in preferred&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;thermal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;habitat occur primarily in shallow, low-color&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;lakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that are marginally acidified and either weakly stratified or strongly stratified with anoxic hypolimnia. Significant improvements in brook trout&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;thermal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;habitat could be achieved in these&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ScopusTermHighlight"&gt;lakes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;by reducing acidity levels, eg by liming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
