A graph illustrating the prevalence of the word "season" in lake-related literature from 1980–2024. Total prevalence increased from just under 5% of papers in 1980 to over 7% in 2024.
Sunburst plot illustrating the most common words that precede "season" in the titles and abstracts of lake-related papers. Hydrologic terms (e.g., dry, wet, rainy) are the most prevalent category, followed by growth/growing seasons, spawning/breeding seasons, and ice-related seasons (melt, open-water, ice-free)
A figure showing annual environmental data from Mohonk Lake, Lake Tanganyika, and West Lake Bonney. Each lake is shown as a set of concentric rings, with stratification data in the outermost ring, daylength in the middle ring, and astronomical seasons (spring/summer/autumn/winter) in the innermost circle. Mohonk exhibits ice cover and thermal mixing, while the other two lakes do not. West Lake Bonney exhibits the strongest gradient of day length across the year
