Lake Winnipeg is the 10th largest freshwater lake in the world and, like many of the world’s great lakes, it is increasingly being affected by anthropogenic pressures, such as high nutrient loads and invasive species. The consequences of these on the hydrology and ecology of the lake are the focus of continuing research, funded by the renewed investment of Federal and Provincial agencies. Complicating this, Lake Winnipeg is still very much a wilderness lake and despite two decades of research there is much we don’t know. This second special issue on Lake Winnipeg is a collection of 21 research articles that describe some of the most recent and emerging research on the lake.

温尼伯湖是世界第十大淡水湖，与世界上许多大湖一样，它越来越多地受到人为压力的影响，例如高营养负荷和入侵物种。这些对湖泊水文和生态的影响是继续研究的重点，由联邦和省级机构重新投资资助。更复杂的是，温尼伯湖在很大程度上仍然是一个荒野湖泊，尽管进行了二十年的研究，但仍有很多我们不知道的地方。关于温尼伯湖的第二期特刊收录了 21 篇研究文章，这些文章描述了有关该湖的一些最新和新兴研究。
