Weather variation and climate fluctuations are the main sources of ecosystem variability in
remote mountain lakes. Here we describe the main patterns of seasonal variability in the …

We carried out a coordinated survey of mountain lakes covering the main ranges across
Europe (including Greenland), sampling 379 lakes above the local tree line in 2000. The …

Lakes are common features of alpine landscapes, and the attention given to alpine lakes
has increased recently in response to increased recognition of the important role that these …

Variability in C and N stable isotopes has been acknowledged to hinder their use as tracers
of food sources in the study of trophic interactions in ecosystems. This is particularly so …

Climate change has strongly affected lakes around the world, but the relative effects of
warmer air temperatures and changing precipitation on the water chemistry of alpine …

Forty-four lakes in the Austrian Alps were studied to examine the influence of catchment
characteristics on water chemistry. The lakes are located along an altitudinal gradient (1502 …

A survey of c. 350 remote high altitude and high latitude lakes from 11 different mountain
regions was undertaken to explore species distribution across Europe at a scale not …

The study of Alpine aquatic environments began in the early 19th century, but only since the
early 1990s has scientific interest intensified on these systems. The goal of this chapter is to …

Mountain regions are cold environments that are hostile to human occupation and widely
regarded as places where the air is clean, water is pure and ecosystems are pristine. Yet …
