Deterministic models have emerged as a widely accepted tool for investigations in lentic
aquatic ecosystems. In this study, an extensive literature review is provided by an inventory …

Climate change could seriously threaten global lake ecosystems by warming lake surface
water and increasing the occurrence of lake heatwaves. Yet, there are great uncertainties in …

The physical response of lakes to climate warming is regionally variable and highly
dependent on individual lake characteristics, making generalizations about their …

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 …

Lake surface water temperatures are warming worldwide, raising concerns about the future
integrity of valuable lake ecosystem services. In contrast to surface water temperatures, we …

In temperate lakes, it is generally assumed that light rather than temperature constrains
phytoplankton growth in winter. Rapid winter warming and increasing observations of winter …

Abstract The Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau possesses the largest alpine lake system, which plays a
crucial role in the land‐atmosphere interaction. We report first observations on the thermal …

Lake surface water temperature (LSWT) is a critical physical property of the aquatic
ecosystem and an evident indicator of climate change. By combining the strengths of …

Lakes play an important role in the global carbon cycle, and littoral zones of lakes are
potential hotspots of greenhouse gas production. In this study, we measured the partial …

A large number of lakes and ponds are unevenly distributed over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
(QTP). Little is known about their ice processes and thermal regimes. Seasonal ice mass …
