One model was formulated for single layer and spatially homogeneous conditions. It was applied at the Lake Viverone. Another model was formulated for lakes with two vertical layers (one above the thermocline and one below). This model was also applied at the Lake Viverone. The effects of climate change were estimated using the two layer model. Both model were applied to other lakes: Lake Avigliana Grande, Lake Sirio, Lake Levico, Lake Caldonazzo, Lake Annecy, Lake Woerthersee. \\ __ Time frame__\\ Data were analysed from different timelines, determined by data availability and different for each lake, mainly data from between 2000 and 2010 were used __Keywords__\\ Ecosystem model, Alpine lakes __Accessibility__\\ open access; data are part (chapter) of a project report __Transferability and re-usability__\\ Model ecosystem for small mesotrophic and eutrophic sub-alpine lakes: transferable to these types of lakes. __Sector policies adressed__\\ Fishing, recreation and tourism, navigation,
