Bill,
I think it was Bob Lusk and your article on "trophics". Obviously with a new pond it shouldn't be a problem early, becoming eutrophic(correct term?) that is. Does feeding pellets increase the rate at which a pond would become eutrophic? Also, our pond site will be surrounded by large trees on about 60-65% of it shore. Obviously all the organic material will add to this process. Is there anything that can be done to slow stop the process or some type of fish/organism that can process all the organic material?
Also, what happens when you add a new pond to what I would guess is a relatively eutrophic marsh? Would the two be on the opposite sides of the trophic spectrum, and how does that interaction play out?
