Menomin Lake, Dunn County - Critical Habitat Area Designation
A Critical Habitat Area Study was conducted June 19, 2007 on Menomin Lake, Dunn County.
Lake Menomin is a eutrophic/hypereutrophic lake with excessive planktonic algae throughout the littoral zone. The large agricultural watershed which Lake Menomin shares with Tainter Lake contributes most of the nutrients that feed the algae blooms (Konkel 1999).
Elodea canadensis (common waterweed) is the dominant species within the plant community; Lemna minor (small duckweed) is sub-dominant.
