Which effect primarily inhibits nutrient mixing in a meromictic lake's water column?

💡 Explanation

When a lake is meromictic, a chemocline and strong thermocline limit mixing because density stratification prevents wind-induced turbulence from reaching lower layers, thus inhibiting nutrient transfer. Therefore stratification inhibits mixing, rather than Coriolis, precipitation, or consumption, each facilitated by different conditions.
