Extractions: The overall aim of the Department of Lake and Estuarine Ecology is to provide the scientific basis for the administration and management of lakes and estuarine ecosystems. This is achieved through strategic and applied research and through work on environmental data within these research areas. The department's responsibilities also include coordinating NERI's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing activities. Lake ecology Estuarine ecology Environmental data GIS and remote sensing ... Resources The department conducts research on the regulation of lake ecosystems and the impact of human activity. The majority of Danish lakes are shallow and the main environmental issue is eutrophication attributable to past and present excessive nutrient loading from agriculture and sewage. A major objective is therefore to predict the effects of reduced nutrient loading in shallow lakes, and to establish measures to reduce lake recovery time. The department's research strategy combines intensive investigation in a limited number of lakes with an extensive database of data from a large number of Danish lakes. The database contains county authority monitoring data from more than 700 Danish lakes and is a valuable tool in this research, being used to test the generality of the intensive studies.

Extractions: The fundamental goal of ecology is to understand the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecology explores relationships between organisms and biotic (living) factors or abiotic (nonliving) factors in the environment. Ecological interactions range from the impact of predation, a biotic factor, on clam abundance, to the effect of salinity, an abiotic factor, on where a species of marsh grass grow. The sheer number, diversity, and complexity of abiotic and biotic factors makes understanding natural systems extremely challenging. That is nevertheless, the goal of ecology. INTRODUCTION TO ECOLOGY THROUGH THE STUDY OF ESTUARIES: From the largest landscape features to the smallest microscopic organisms, an estuary is a fascinating place. When viewing an estuary from the air, for example, one is awed by striking river bends as freshwater finds its way back to the sea, the vast expanse of marsh grasses, mangroves, or mudflats, extending out into the calm waters, or perhaps the elegant curve of an expansive barrier beach. Wherever there are estuaries, there is a unique beauty, as rivers meet the sea, and both ocean and land contribute to a unique ecosystem of specialized plants and animals.
