A given lake’s residence time is by no means a fixed quantity. It depends on the rate at which water enters the lake, and that depends on the rainfall and the evaporation rate. Climatic change (the result of global warming?) is dramatically affecting the residence times of some lakes in northwestern Ontario, Canada. In the period 1970 to 1986, rainfall in the area decreased from 1,000 millimeters to 650 millimeters per annum, while above-average temperatures speeded up the evapotranspiration rate (the rate at which water is lost to the atmosphere through evaporation and the processes of plant life). The result has been that the residence time of one of the lakes increased from 5 to 18 years during the study period. The slowing down of water renewal leads to a chain of further consequences; it causes dissolved chemicals to become increasingly concentrated, and this, in turn, has a marked effect on all living things in the lake. 想請問!! 這篇文章一開始強調說Volumn 越大, 水越深 就會水停留的時間越長 為啥這段感覺有矛盾 說天氣改變 蒸發率變高 降雨量變小 會導致停留時間變長??!!(所的residence time) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 1.171.0.147

重點應該是氣候變遷導致水更新變慢,湖水又蒸發得快

水中化學物質因此變濃,顯著影響水生環境。

降雨少->水更新慢->湖水停留時間長。

謝謝你!!這樣我就大概可以理解了!!
