Rapid acceleration of ice-cover loss from Northern Hemisphere lakes above critical air temperature thresholds
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 32, August 2026. SignificanceIce cover is a fundamental regulator of northern lake ecosystems, yet the specific thermal thresholds that trigger abrupt phenological changes have remained elusive. We demonstrate that lake-ice sensitivity to atmospheric warming is not only ...
