Abstract

The Westhampton Lake is one of the University of Richmond’s most beautiful features. Though, when studied, the lake is a more complex ecosystem than it appears. While students can easily identify birds, reptiles, and fish, we often fail to recognize the importance of microscopic organisms and their role in nutrient reduction.
