\subsubsection{Complexity in the Physico-chemical Subsystem}  At the Arctic Lake (Ar) variables related with light (SL, PL and BL) have high value of emergence, while Benthic Conductivity benthic conductivity  (BCd) and percentage of water  mixing between planktonic and benthonic zones (ZM) have very high self-organization. Remaining variables are were  classified in very high complexity category, with the exception of two variables associated with inflow and benthic conductivity (ICd and BCd) that are ranking in very low complexity category (Annex **). category.  At the North Highland Lake north highland lake  (NH), light variables increase theirchange  ranking to very high emergence category; category,  in consequence its complexity is was  reduced to low and very low categories. BCd and Zm variables increase its complexity to high category. At the North Lowland Lake (NL) north lowland lake (NL),  temperature variables increases its level of change to very high as high. Also  light variables. Remaining variables had fair to very high emergence. Thus, self-organization, in general was is  low. As the result of the above facts, variables with very high complexity were relating with hydrology (IO, RT) conductivity (ICd, PCd) and pH in all zones of lake. At the Tropical Lake tropical lake  (T), all physiochemical variables have similar levels of regularity (S) and change (E); consequently majority of variables have high or very high complexity with the exception of ZM and SdO2. Sediment Oxygen (SdO2).  As generalization based Based  on PCA ordination of emergence, self-organization, complexity and autoposieis properties,  we can say summarize  that variables of physiochemical subsystem can conform 3 groups related to properties of E, S,C,A (Fig. **). groups.  Group 1 Variables including variables  related with high changes or emergence related with as  light.

Due an increasing in the emergence of nitrogen and decreasing in the S of detritus 13 of the 16 variables of the limiting nutrient components was classified in very high and high complexity categories. Variables that no reach the above level were due to their very high emergence like Carbon Dioxide in planktonic and C, and Benthic detritus. At this point of the gradient Ar-T complexity has an important variation that continuous its increment of the balance between emergence and self-organization at the end of the gradient. This way in tropic very high levels of complexity for the majority of variables are shown. Only the very high emergence of detritus were the exception. In consequence in the tropic limiting nutrients in general have positive autopoiesis defining more autonomy for adaptation.
