Abstract

Natural and artificial lakes are hydrographic objects of multiple importance, time of creation, dimensions and evolution. They are significant for a number of natural phenomena and processes, as well as for numerous human activities. The science of lakes is called limnology and is a part of terrestrial water hydrology. The first scientific data, from a geographical aspect, about the large lakes of Old Serbia, Macedonia and Greece was presented by Jovan Cvijić in his geomorphological studies. From the biological aspect, the limnological works of Siniša Stanković are significant. Based on the works of these scientists, research and publication of works by professor Stevan M. Stanković, who in his own way revitalized the limnology of our expanses. In this paper, we present his oeuvre from the domain of limnology.
