We review the literature on the relationship between water temperature and size of
freshwater phytoplankton, to examine the hypothesis that freshwater phytoplankton, like …

Winter is an important season for many limnological processes, which can range from
biogeochemical transformations to ecological interactions. Interest in the structure and …

People extensively use lakes and rivers covered by seasonal ice. Although ice cover
duration has been declining over the past 150 years for Northern Hemisphere freshwaters …

The phenology of critical biological events in aquatic ecosystems is rapidly shifting due to
climate change. Growing variability in phenological cues can increase the likelihood of …

Ice cover plays a critical role in physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes in lakes.
Despite its importance, winter limnology remains relatively understudied. Here, we provide a …

Algal blooms, the rapid proliferation of algal biomass often to nuisance or harmful levels,
diminish aquatic ecosystem services. Freshwater blooms can cause substantial economic …

Water quality of freshwater lakes within the Laurentian Great Lakes region is vulnerable to
degradation owing to multiple environmental stressors including climate change, alterations …

As global surface temperatures continue to rise as a result of anthropogenic climate change,
effects in temperate lakes are likely to be more pronounced than in other ecosystems …

The duration of seasonal winter ice cover has declined in many mid‐and high‐latitude
regions around the world as climate continues to warm. We obtained data on lake ice …

At high latitudes and altitudes one of the main controls on hydrological and biogeochemical
processes is the breakup and freeze-up of lake and river ice. This study uses 3510 time …
