Model results in this work indicate that lakes may respond very differently to climate change
depending on their physical character. A physical lake model and a mechanistic phosphorus
model are combined with two temperature scenarios generated by a regional climate model
(RCM) in three sites in central Sweden—Lake Erken and two basins of Lake Mälaren
(Galten and Ekoln). In the phosphorus model water mixing, mineralization, diffusion and
biouptake are temperature dependent. In the simulations, Lake Erken is much more …
