oligotrphic, mesotrophic, eutrophic lakes

Oligotrophic: Minimal nutrients and low plant growth
Mesotrophic: plants and nutrients level classified in between oligotrophic and eutrophic levels
Eutrophic lakes: High nutrient level and plant growth

Dealing with the ecology:
The type of lake it is in regards to the nutrients and vegetation levels, plays a huge part in a lake's ecology. To understand the relation between organisms and plants in a lake, it would be a great help to know the level of life and vegetation within the lake.
