Background Lake sediments harbor diverse microbial communities that cycle carbon and
nutrients while being constantly colonized and potentially buried by organic matter sinking …

Accurate lake sediment-derived palaeoenvironmental reconstructions require in-depth
knowledge on sediment record formation processes. In order to understand formation of …

Dolichospermum is a cyanobacterial genus commonly associated with toxic blooms in lakes
and brackish water bodies worldwide, and is a long-term resident of Lake Stechlin …

Spatio-temporal variability of sediment-mediated methane (CH 4) production in freshwater
lakes causes large uncertainties in predicting global lake CH 4 emissions under different …

Purpose Our goal was to understand how differences in source material (allochthonous vs.
autochthonous) and phytoplankton communities (diatoms vs. cyanobacteria) influence …

Whiting events—the episodic precipitation of fine‐grained suspended calcium carbonates in
the water column—have been documented across a variety of marine and lacustrine …

Extraordinary amounts of greenhouse gases can be stored within the monimolimnion of
meromictic lakes, that is, in the water body which is excluded from mixing events. Lake …

Pelagic calcification shapes the carbon budget of lakes and the sensitivity of dissolved
inorganic carbon (DIC) responses to lake metabolism. This process, being tightly linked to …

Algal photosynthesis increases pH to a level that can induce CaCO 3 and Mg (OH) 2
precipitation. However, the roles of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ in regulating the pH-carbonate system …

Global warming affects the thermal stratification of freshwater lakes, and thus can lead to
thermocline deepening. To follow the direct and indirect effects of thermocline shifts on …
