Holomictic lakes

A lake that is not meromictic is called holomictic. Holomictic lakes have one of the mixing types described previously, i.e. warm or cold monomictic, dimictic, etc. In conclusion, holomictic and meromictic properties refer to chemical characteristics of the water bodies, whereas epi-, meta- and hypo-limnion refer to the thermic regime of lakes. Obviously, both concepts are linked.
