One of the most important physical characteristics driving lifecycle events in lakes is
stratification. Already subtle variations in the timing of stratification onset and break-up …

Millions of lakes inversely stratify during winter. Seemingly subtle variations in the duration
of winter stratification can have major ecological effects by, for example, altering the vertical …

Populations living in seasonal environments are exposed to systematic changes in physical
conditions that restrict the growth and reproduction of many species to only a short time …

The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) is an important attribute of aquatic ecosystems,
influencing habitat, drinking water quality, biodiversity, nutrient biogeochemistry, and …

Abstract Changes in water temperatures resulting from climate warming can alter the
structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. Lake-specific physical characteristics may play …

Quantitative evidence of sudden shifts in ecological structure and function in large shallow
lakes is rare, even though they provide essential benefits to society. Such 'regime shifts' can …

Climatic change is recognized as an important factor capable of influencing the structural
properties of aquatic ecosystems. Lake ecosystems are particularly sensitive to climate …

Climate change is affecting lake stratification with consequences for water quality and the
benefits that lakes provide to society. Here we use long‐term temperature data (1970–2010) …

Lake surface temperatures are warming in many regions and have the potential to alter
seasonal thermal stratification. However, the effects of climate change on thermal …

Regime shifts in lake ecosystems can occur in response to both abrupt and continuous
climate change, and the imprints they leave in paleolimnological records allow us to …
