What Does ELA Stand For?
ELA stands for Experimental Lakes Area Northwest Ontario
The Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) in Northwest Ontario is a unique research facility dedicated to freshwater ecosystem science. It serves as a natural laboratory for innovative studies on aquatic environments, enabling researchers to conduct controlled experiments that investigate the impacts of human activities, climate change, and other environmental stressors on freshwater systems. With its diverse lakes and surrounding ecosystems, ELA plays a critical role in advancing our understanding of ecological processes and informing water management practices.
