These constitute on the one hand an attractive feature of the landscape and on the other a major resource for industry and recreation. Thus there are about 3800 lochs over4 ha in area and these form approximately 1.0% of the total surface area of Scotland. Com parable figures for England and Wales are 1700 lakes and 0.05% of the land surface, and in terms of volume. Loch Ness contains more water than all the lakes and reservoirs in England and Wales put together (Smith & Lyle 1979). Many of the Scottish lochs are large and clean and consequently are particularly valuable in resource terms. The decision as to which are actually the largest lochs is debatable, particularly when the main criteria of greatest surface area, length, volume and depth each gives a different water (Lochs Lomond. Awe, Ness and Morar respectively). These four then are certainly among the largest lochs in the country, but close to them in size come several other large waters, among which is Loch Shiel- which is exceeded in length only by Lochs Awe, Ness and Lomond. These five very large lochs | 出版日期 | Book 1981 | 关键词 | ecology; fisheries; limnology; phytoplankton; plankton; zooplankton | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-8635-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-009-8637-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-8635-0Series ISSN 0077-0639 Series E-ISSN 2215-1729 | issn_series | 0077-0639 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1981 |
