Research Brief: Climate-Influenced Phenological Shifts in Lake Stratification
Stratification phenology has been studied many times in the past due to its ecological significance; however, these studies are typically isolated to an individual or small grouping of lakes. Lake systems are increasingly vulnerable to various climate stressors, making understanding the impacts these stressors have on stratification critical. A 2021 study published in Nature Communications focused on bridging the gaps surrounding stratification phenology and collecting and compiling data from lakes located in the Northern Hemisphere.
