Lacustrine carbonates accumulate in all climates and in any tectonic situation. Their
depositional patterns are assessed through a database involving literature representing …

Human disturbances of ecosystems last a long time and have quantifiable influences on the
structure and function of the systems. If long records (eg paleoecological) of both …

This text, written by a leading researcher in the field, describes the origin and formation of
lakes in order to give context to the question of how lacustrine deposits form. It explains the …

In its statutory authority (National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended), the NSF is
directed to both initiate and support basic scientific research. In its Ecology Program, one …

The annual record of fossil pigments and zooplankton was compared with detailed
contemporaneous records from two manipulated lakes from 1940 to 1986. Annually …

Since the late 1950s, scientists have used sediment cores from lakes on the Yucatan
Peninsula to explore the complex interactions among climate, environment, and ancient …

Reconstructing climate from lake sediments can be challenging, because the response of
lakes and various components of lake systems are mediated by non-climatic factors, such as …

Accumulations of sediment at the beds of lakes, estuaries and reservoirs provide partial
records of materials transported from the surrounding water catchment areas. Physical …

Chlorophyll a production, degradation, and sedimentation were studied simultaneously
during summer stratification in three lakes with contrasting plankton communities. Pigment …

(1) The history of Diss Mere, Norfolk, UK was reconstructed by diatom and pigment analysis
of a sediment core, with emphasis on the influence of changing vegetation and land-use on …
