Ice-rich permafrost exerts a strong control on hydrology in Arctic regions because it limits infiltration, leading to large runoff events.

Pyramid Lake, Nevada, is one of the last remaining strongholds for lacustrine Lahontan cutthroat trout; almost all other large lake populations have undergone population declines or extirpation as a result of habitat degradation, overharvest, and water diversions, all compounded by the stocking of nonnative species.
