   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Loa Andersson; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Temporal stratification in lakes due to high air temperatures and dynamic wind conditions changes the environment for organisms in the depth gradient. For fish that have narrow requirements for temperature and oxygen conditions, stratification can lead to a significant reduction in habitat volume during the summer when surface temperatures are high.
