Nevada Atmospheric Sciences issued the following announcement on June 11.
"The most significant aspect of this study is that wildfire can modify ecosystems hundreds of miles away from locations that are burning, and the impacts from smoke remain well after the smoke disappears. Trout also disappeared from the nearshore edge of the lake, presumably moving to the open water habitat where there are smaller food particles called zooplankton for them to eat.” —
