This volume presents recent advances in the research on meromictic
lakes and a state-of-the art overview of this area. After an
introduction to the terminology and geographic distribution of
meromictic lakes, three concise chapters describe their physical,
chemical and biological features. The following eight chapters
present case studies of more than a dozen meromictic lakes, showing
the variety of physical and biochemical processes that promote
meromixis. The result is a broad picture of the ecology and
biochemistry of meromictic lakes in tropical and cold regions, in
man-made pit lakes and euxinic marine lakes, and in freshwater as
well as hypersaline lakes. In the final chapter the editors provide
a synthesis of the topic and conclude that the study of meromictic
lakes also offers new insights into the limnology of inland lakes.
The book appeals to researchers in the fields of ecology,
limnology, environmental physics and biophysics.
