Climate regulates alpine lake ice cover phenology and aquatic ecosystem structure

Abstract High‐elevation aquatic ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate change, yet relatively few records are available to characterize shifts in ecosystem structure or their underlying mechanisms. Using a long‐term data set on seven alpine lakes (3126 to 3620 m) in Colorado, USA, we show that...
