The complementary power of pH and lake-water organic carbon reconstructions for discerning the influences on surface waters across decadal to millennial time scales by P. Rosén, R. Bindler, T. Korsman, T. Mighall, K. Bishop

“…Lysevatten, a lake in southwest Sweden, has experienced both acidification and recent changes in the amount of lake-water organic carbon (TOC), both causing concern across Europe and North America. A range of paleolimnological tools – diatom-inferred pH, inferred lake-water TOC from visible-near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIRS), multi-element geochemistry and pollen analysis, combined with geochemical modeling were used to reconstruct the lake's chemistry and surroundings back to the most recent deglaciation 12 500 years ago. …”

Historical gold mining increased metal(loid) concentrations in lake sediments from Nova Scotia, Canada by Branaavan Sivarajah, Linda M. Campbell, John P. Smol, Jesse C. Vermaire, Joshua Kurek

“…Large amounts of materials from the tailings have entered the surface waters of downstream aquatic ecosystems at concentrations that present a risk to benthos. We used paleolimnological approaches to examine long-term trends in sedimentary metal(loid) concentrations, assess potential sediment toxicity, and determine if geochemical recovery has occurred at four lakes located downstream of three productive gold-mining districts. …”

Lake microbiome and trophy fluctuations of the ancient hemp rettery by Olga Iwańska, Przemysław Latoch, Magdalena Suchora, Irena A. Pidek, Miłosz Huber, Iwona Bubak, Natalia Kopik, Mariia Kovalenko, Michał Gąsiorowski, Jean-Paul Armache, Agata L. Starosta

“…Here, by the combination of traditional multi-proxy paleolimnological methods with the whole-metagenome shotgun-sequencing of sedDNA we were able to paint a comprehensive picture of the fluctuations in trophy and bacterial diversity and metabolism of a small temperate lake in response to hemp retting, across the past 2000 years. …”

Using metabarcoding and droplet digital PCR to investigate drivers of historical shifts in cyanobacteria from six contrasting lakes by Maïlys Picard, Xavier Pochon, Javier Atalah, John K. Pearman, Andrew Rees, Jamie D. Howarth, Christopher M. Moy, Marcus J. Vandergoes, Ian Hawes, Samiullah Khan, Susanna A. Wood

“…The catchment of one deteriorated lake is only moderately modified, thus the introduction of non-native fish is posited as the key factor driving this change. The paleolimnological approach used in this study has enabled new insights into timing and potential causes of changes in cyanobacterial communities.…”

Pearman, Jamie D. Howarth, Marcus J. Vandergoes, Jonathan Puddick, Sean Fitzsimons, Andrew Rees, Susanna A. Wood

“…Introduced trout can induce trophic cascades, however, a lack of pre-introduction data limits knowledge on their impact in many lakes. Traditional paleolimnological approaches have been used to study historic species changes, but until recently these have been restricted to taxa with preservable body-parts. …”

Rapidly rising transboundary atmospheric pollution from industrial and urban sources in Southeast Asia and its implications for regional sustainable development by Qinqin Chen, Suzanne McGowan, Chris Gouramanis, Letisha Fong, Rajasekhar Balasubramanian, David Taylor

“…Here, we reconstruct long-term variations in transboundary inputs of chromium (Cr), an industrial pollutant, to Singapore over the period 1900–2017 by adopting a novel catchment-reservoir mass balance methodology that combines a national emissions inventory and a paleolimnological approach. Results show periods of low (before the 1950s) and relatively stable (the 1950s–1980s) levels of transboundary Cr deposition in Singapore followed by an unambiguous increase from ca. 1990 onwards, most likely linked to the onset of rapid industrialisation in neighbouring parts of Malaysia and Indonesia. …”
