Lake Tovel (1,177 m above sea level; area: 0.4 km2; maximum depth: 39 m) is an Italian long‐term ecological research site in the Brenta-Adamello Natural park and is monthly sampled from 1995 onwards. Its high protection status and long-term data make it an excellent sentinel of climate change. At Tovel, classical limnology is combined with high-frequency sensors and environmental DNA. This contribution shows how a long-time meromictic lake changed to an oxygenated hypolimnion because of climate change and which repercussions this had on plankton. The comparison of the fungal community assessed by eDNA further outlined the impact of a dry versus a wet year on community dynamics. Lake Tovel is an excellent example of the intertwined relationships of climate change and plankton.
