Winter conditions are rapidly changing in temperate ecosystems, particularly for those that
experience periods of snow and ice cover. Relatively little is known of winter ecology in …

Recently, the attention to the ice season in lakes has been growing remarkably amongst
limnological communities, in particular, due to interest in the response of mid-and high …

The ice‐cover period in lakes is increasingly recognized for its distinct combination of
physical and biological phenomena and ecological relevance. Knowledge gaps exist where …

A large number and wide variety of lake ecosystem models have been developed and
published during the past four decades. We identify two challenges for making further …

The ecological consequences of winter in freshwater systems are an understudied but
rapidly emerging research area. Here, we argue that winter periods of reduced temperature …

Global climate warming is causing the loss of freshwater ice around the Northern
Hemisphere. Although the timing and duration of ice covers are known to regulate …

Among its many impacts, climate warming is leading to increasing winter air temperatures,
decreasing ice cover extent, and changing winter precipitation patterns over the Laurentian …

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 …

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 …

Boreal lakes are impacted by climate change, reduced acid deposition, and changing loads
of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from catchments. We explored, using the process‐based …
