Introduction to Monomictic Lake

Vertical circulation reaches the bottom of the deepest (> 90 m) part of the northern basin of Lake Biwa, a warm monomictic lake, during winter (January to March) every year.

The lake is known to be a warm monomictic lake, thermally stratified through most of the year with the exception of winter, when small thermal vertical gradients permit mixing from top to bottom.

The present work describes the benthic macroinvertebrate communities of three tropical, warm monomictic lakes in “Lagunas de Montebello” National Park, Mexico, by describing the differences along the bathymetric profile, from the littoral down to the profound benthos.

Our study focuses on Lake Kinneret (Israel), a sub-tropical monomictic lake of socioeconomic importance.

A simple 1-D energy budget model (SIMO) for the prediction of the vertical temperature profiles in small, monomictic lakes forced by a reduced number of input meteorological variables is proposed.

20 mg/L) using surface sediments of Lake Yangzonghai, a warm monomictic lake in southwestern China.

The occurrence of 209 PCB congeners was determined in a sediment core dated between 1930 and 2019 from Lake Biwa, a typical temperate monomictic lake in Japan.

, from exudation and lysis), meets phytoplankton P uptake and how it is associated with phytoplankton community composition changes under thermally stratified DIP-depauperate conditions in a large warm-monomictic lake.

Vertical profiles of dissolved oxygen (DO) and water temperature (WT) measured bi-monthly for 36 years (1980–2015) near the deepest part of a warm monomictic lake were analyzed with special reference to yearly minimum DO at bottom (DOmin).

Spatial and seasonal patterns reflected the bathymetry and previously described mixing patterns of this monomictic lake: warming of shallow bays in spring extended to wider area along with summer stratification period, while mixing of the water column was reflected in spatially more homogenous SWT in fall-winter.

In this study, carried out from the littoral (S1), pelagic (S2-S4), and the deepest site (S5), water samples from different depths and sediment cores were collected along the transect of Lake Fuxian, a deep monomictic lake to investigate the spatial–temporal variations of CH 4.

The study investigated the metallothionein (MT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) genes expression in freshwater fish Cyprinus carpio dwelling in Warm-monomictic Lake (Dal) and Government culture pond.

Ecosystem dynamics in monomictic lakes are characterized by seasonal thermal mixing and stratification.

This study highlights the concern that in deep monomictic lakes, eutrophication restoration might be hindered by extensive internal P cycling and reduced capacity of sediment P-trapping.
