Summary
The hypolimnion is the dense, cooler layer of water in a
Stratified lake
, lying below the thermocline and above the
Lake bed
, which remains relatively isolated from surface processes. This layer is crucial for understanding
Oxygen Depletion
and
Nutrient Cycling
in
Deep waters
, as it often becomes anoxic in
Eutrophic lakes
due to
Limited mixing
with the
Upper layers
.
