The term eutrophication broadly refers to the enrichment of aquatic systems by inorganic
plant nutrients (Mason, 1991; Wetzel, 2001). Lake eutrophication occurs when nutrient …

A distinct lens of marine sand, up to 90 cm thick, confined vertically by peat, is found in the
upper fill of a closed freshwater back-barrier lagoon on the southeast Australian coast …

Eutrophication is perhaps the most pervasive form of pollution. Here we first review its effects
on lake ecosystems based largely on modern ecological investigation. The longer time scale …

Floodplain wetlands accumulate river‐borne sediments that include mixed assemblages of
allochthonous and autochthonous diatoms as fossils. These assemblages have been used …

We examined the impact of lake trophic state on the taxonomic and functional structure of
cladoceran communities and the role of nutrient loading in structuring both cladoceran and …

Over the last decade there has been a deliberate focus on the application of
paleolimnological research to address issues of sediment flux and water quality change in …

The seasonality of physical, chemical, and biological water variables is a major
characteristic of temperate, dimictic lakes. Yet, few investigations have considered the …

Local knowledge is increasingly seen as a critical information source for environmental
management and habitat restoration, particularly in Australia. To assess the reliability of this …

The trophic status of lakes in New Zealand is, on average, low compared to more densely
populated areas of the globe. Despite this, trends of eutrophication are currently widespread …

Lakes are becoming degraded at an accelerating rate owing to human activity, and
understanding their past ecology is necessary for lake management and rehabilitation …
