What is Life Cycle of a Lake: Stages Explained about?
The document describes the annual life cycle of lakes in temperate regions and the long-term life cycle of lakes over millions of years. The annual cycle involves seasonal stratification and turnover of lake water due to changing temperatures. Over millions of years, lakes naturally progress through stages from nutrient-poor oligotrophic to more nutrient-rich eutrophic as sediments accumulate at the bottom. Human activities can accelerate this long-term eutrophication process.
