Site Description
The site Lake of Anterselva lies in the Eastern Alps at 1640 m a.s.l. and is for extension the third among the natural lakes of the province of Bolzano. Because of his natural charm it is ever since visited by tourists. The lake, surrounded by conifers, is of barrier origin and has presently an oligotrophic state. Its watershed is composed of acid rocks (75 %) and morenes (23 %) and is covered by shreds (41 %), pioneer vegetation (42 %) and pasture (7%). The literature on Lake Anterselva is extremely poor of physical, chemical and biological data. The only sufficiently sound research was conducted towards the end of the 19th century by Damian, who published a bathymetric map with notes on geology and hydrography. Since 1979 the ...
