Classifying Mixing Regimes in Ponds and Shallow Lakes [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2022 Lakes are classified by thermal mixing regimes, with shallow waterbodies historically categorized as continuously mixing systems. Yet, recent studies demonstrate extended summertime stratification in ponds, underscoring the need to reassess thermal ...

Biogeochemical Distinctiveness of Peatland Ponds, Thermokarst Waterbodies, and Lakes [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Small lentic freshwater ecosystems play a disproportionate role in global biogeochemical cycles by processing large amounts of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), but it is unlikely that they behave as one homogenous group for the purpose of ...

A functional definition to distinguish ponds from lakes and wetlands [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Ponds are often identified by their small size and shallow depths, but the lack of a universal evidence-based definition hampers science and weakens legal protection. Here, we compile existing pond definitions, compare ecosystem metrics (e.g., metabolism,

Comprehensive dataset of shotgun metagenomes from oxygen stratified freshwater lakes and ponds. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2021 Stratified lakes and ponds featuring steep oxygen gradients are significant net sources of greenhouse gases and hotspots in the carbon cycle. Despite their significant biogeochemical roles, the microbial communities, especially in the oxygen depleted ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Given the current rate of Arctic warming, the associated ecological changes need to be put into a longer-term context of natural variability. Palaeolimnology offers tools to explore archives stored in the sediments of Arctic lakes and ponds.

Ice-cover is the principal driver of ecological change in High Arctic lakes and ponds. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Recent climate change has been especially pronounced in the High Arctic, however, the responses of aquatic biota, such as diatoms, can be modified by site-specific environmental characteristics.

Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning, 2022 Urban lakes and ponds (L&Ps) provide numerous ecological and social services for local populations living in urban areas. Their monitoring and management are mostly based on water quality and ecological indicators and poorly consider public preferences ...

Water Research, 2021 Chinese lakes, including ponds and reservoirs, are increasingly threatened by algal blooms. Yet, each lake is unique, leading to large inter-lake variation in lake vulnerability to algal blooms.

Permafrost thaw lakes and ponds as habitats for abundant rotifer populations
Arctic Science, 2018 Thermokarst lakes and ponds were sampled across a range of permafrost landscapes in subarctic Québec (Nunavik, Canada) to compare their rotifer and other zooplankton characteristics with a set of rock-basin lakes and ponds in the region.

Ecological Indicators, 2021 As a critical ecosystem type, wetlands have received extensive attention from scholars worldwide. Previous studies have mostly taken the entire wetland as the research object, and there is a lack of differentiated research on wetland subsystems.
