Dissolved organic carbon trends resulting from changes in atmospheric deposition chemistry. Nature, 450, 537–540. 10.1038/nature06316 Sarah Bailey makes a dramatic entry into the Australian crime fiction genre, with her debut novel, The Dark Lake. I was impressed by the amount of positive endorsement this book has received and encouraged my resolve to select The Dark Lake to read. It comes out in Australia in June 2018 and in the UK in March 2019. What is it about Australian remote towns that is so compelling? UV radiation and organic matter composition shape bacterial functional diversity in sediments. Frontiers in Microbiology, 4, 317
Bailey also occasionally puts us in the heads of other characters – usually insignificant ones. I perhaps spent too much time overanalysing whether this was a good or bad thing and it was probably neither as it simply gave us some hints or clues to help us work out whodunnit.

Inland Waters, 4, 157–166. 10.5268/IW-4.2.694 The body of a teacher found in the murky waters of this school side lake sets up a storyline that embroils a weird and troubled family, a female detective who just happens to be a former school chum of the victim and who seems to be have emotional problems of a complex nature involving adult relationships.
DNA was extracted in duplicate from each mesocosm in August 2016 using a PowerSoil DNA Isolation Kit (MoBio Laboratories Inc, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and following the manufacturer's protocol. Sequencing libraries were prepared with 1ng of genomic DNA per sample using the Nextera XT DNA Sample Preparation and dual‐barcoding with Nextera XT Indexes (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. Libraries were quantified on a Qubit 3.0 Fluorometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and on a Bioanalyzer HS DNA chip (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA) and pooled in equimolar concentrations into a single sample. Samples were sequenced on an Illumina platform using a NextSeq 500/550 Mid Output Kit v2 (300 cycles, paired‐end).Gemma’s determined to work Rosalind’s case – worried however her past relationship with the victim will see the case turned over to colleagues – but she’s a favourite of her boss, Jonesy thanks to a case she doggedly pursued and (kinda inadvertently) unearthed early into her career. Lily Evans and her school friends were also said to dangle their legs over the water, which could mean that there were no rules whilst they were in school against swimming in the lake.

Regulation of gross growth efficiency and ammonium regeneration in bacteria by substrate C: N ratio. Limnology and Oceanography, 32, 1239–1252. 10.4319/lo.1987.32.6.1239 Inputs of terrestrially derived organic matter (t‐OM) are a major driver in lake ecosystems, but the ecological consequences of changes in their quantity and quality remain poorly understood (Solomon et al., 2015). Nearly a third of all the terrestrial carbon (C) input into inland waters is buried into lake sediments (Tranvik et al., 2009). Much of this burial, especially of larger particulate material, occurs in nearshore environments of small lakes through mechanisms including sedimentation and flocculation, where heavier matter and coagulated dissolved organic matter (DOM) fall out of suspension and accumulate (von Wachenfeldt & Tranvik, 2008; Wurtsbaugh et al., 2002). However, littoral sediments remain understudied relative to pelagic environments, especially in the context of future changes to t‐OM exports. Terrestrial organic matter is increasingly exported into receiving waters, due to mechanisms including declines in anthropogenic sulfur deposition (Evans, Monteith, & Cooper, 2005; Monteith et al., 2007) and increases in terrestrial primary production (Freeman, Ostle, Fenner, & Kang, 2004) and soil decomposition (Findlay, 2005), and should thereby enhance sedimentation (Kritzberg et al., 2014; von Wachenfeldt, Sobek, Bastviken, & Tranvik, 2008). Additionally, northward shifts in deciduous forests (Boisvert‐Marsh, Perie, & Blois, 2014), and the spread of fires and insect outbreaks (Schindler & Lee, 2010), are expected to change the composition of t‐OM that will be buried into receiving waters (e.g., Jaffé et al., 2012). Grizedale Forest and Whinlatter Forest are usually only open during daylight hours but they often run night-time events. Keep an eye on the car park closing times, during the months with shorter days, you can stay at the forests after sunset.

The light: Nutrient ratio in lakes: The balance of energy and materials affects ecosystem structure and process. The American Naturalist, 150, 633–684. 10.1086/286088 Our results add to the growing evidence that terrestrially derived OM is not recalcitrant (Judd et al., 2006; Kellerman, Dittmar, Kothawala, & Tranvik, 2014; Kritzberg, Langenheder, & Lindstrom, 2006; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Roiha et al., 2016). Rather, t‐OM can undergo photo‐induced transformations and be degraded by EEAs, leading to CO 2 production in lake sediments (Karlsson et al., 2012). Although bacterial activity was not directly stimulated by aromatic OM, it was relatively higher in lake sediments dominated by aromatic OM, thereby suggesting that the terrestrially sourced fraction of DOM is relatively bioavailable and has a potentially high turn‐over rate (Karlsson et al., 2009; Kleber et al., 2011). These findings challenge the paradigm that t‐OM is highly degraded, recalcitrant, and otherwise unavailable to microbial degradation due to its chemical composition (Judd et al., 2007; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Sollins, Homann, & Caldwell, 1996; Zwart et al., 2016). Consequently, we suggest that t‐OM inputs to lakes will not remain unchanged in lake sediments, but will be altered by microorganisms and photo‐processes, which may change carbon budgets and/or transfer heterotrophic productivity to higher trophic levels (Cole, Caraco, Kling, & Kratz, 1994; Forsström, Roiha, & Rautio, 2013; McCallister & del Giorgio, 2012; Tanentzap et al., 2014). More broadly, our results advance previous work by showing how the fate of t‐OM in lake sediments will ultimately depend on local environmental conditions and the bacterial community's genetic potential to degrade different OM qualities.

The Dark Lake’s twisty, grim plot benefits greatly from Sarah Bailey’s extraordinary writing skills. Ms. Bailey doesn’t just invent characters, she brings them to life. Every role, no matter the significance, is fully explored. From the jogger who discovers Rose’s body to the owner of Gemma’s favorite breakfast spot, Sarah Bailey spares no expense. All are brilliantly-wrought and developed. And by giving voice to what are essentially “extras,” more prominent characters are allowed to flourish. The reader is granted the ability to see the protagonists from all possible angles, creating a richer narrative. Increases in terrestrially derived carbon stimulate organic carbon processing and CO2 emission in boreal aquatic ecosystems. Nature Communications, 4 During the 1989–1990 school year, Jacob's sibling searched for the final Cursed Vault in the Great Lake. After initially diving into the lake and being faced with hostility by an unidentified Merwoman, they returned to the surface and worked with their friends to find a peaceful way to communicate with the Merpeople. This led to them organising a Weird Sisters concert on the lakeshore after they discovered the Merpeople's love of music. This earned them an audience with the Merqueen who requested that they bring her three items that the colony needed replacements for. After Jacob's sibling returned with the items, the Merqueen showed them to entrance to the Sunken Vault. [21] Experimental insights into the importance of aquatic bacterial community composition to the degradation of dissolved organic matter. The ISME Journal, 10, 533–545. 10.1038/ismej.2015.131 It's obvious the crime has something to do with the past, but we're given very little information in that regard. There are never really any clues for us to play with, and the detective work feels messy and unsatisfying. We discover a lot of the town's secrets but none seem relevant to the mystery at hand. We meet a lot of characters but get to know very few of them. There's nothing to create attachment to any of the main players, really, which is a shame because with an invested element this could have been a ripper of a read. Instead the reader is left impartial, and there's little to propel the narrative. Even the mystery of the past seems patchy and the slowly revealed glimpses of it are unsatisfying and anti-climatic.
