Abstract
Formulating a mathematical model of long-term environmental changes in a lake-catchment system is an important step for quantitatively understanding long-term processes and changes and for establishing clear causal relations between the different factors. Furthermore, they are indispensable for future predictions. Two cases (small/no glacier effect and large glacier effect) in phenomenological models are discussed with long-term changes in lake-catchment systems, considering data given by Lake Baikal and Lake Biwa with small (or no) effect and Lake Khuvsgul with large effect: Sediment discharge may be significantly influenced with glaciers.
