Water chemistry and sediment trap data from the 18.9-m-deep, high-altitude, hardwater lake Hagelseewli (2339 m asl.) indicates that biogenic induced calcite precipitation occurs in a water depth of 6 to 9 m at a temperature of 4°C. Our data indicates that calcite precipitation takes place as a short...
