Abstract

The introduction presents a short historical background of the region, including an account of research on Lake Kinneret. An account of recent anthropomorphic changes that have impacted the lake ecosystem and data on morphometric, bathymetric, and other basic limnological characteristics of the lake are given. The main features of the annual cycle of key limnological parameters (temperature, stratification, chlorophyll, pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, sulfate, and sulfide) are presented.
