On the following chart, use the sets of hypothetical data to plot the vertical temperature profile (the environmental lapse rate) of the atmosphere in two locations. Using a straightedge, connect the temperature points for Location A with blue line, and for Location B with a green line (if you do not use colored lines, label each line clearly).
Remember, the vertical temperature profiles show the temperature of the surrounding air through which parcels of air can move. For the following questions, assume that the DAR is 5.5°F/1000 feet and that the SAR is 3.0°F/1000 feet.

As you saw in "DO or Die", fish are sometimes lost from lakes as eutrophication occurs. Given what you've learned in this lab about why these fish die-offs occur, which of the following might help maintain the entire ecological community as phosphorus concentrations increase?
