Copepods (Class Crustacea, Order Copepoda) are rarely included in paleoecological studies of lakes because they lack long-lasting exoskeletal remains. We describe the remains of eggs (egg shells) from Hesperodiaptomus copepods that are well preserved and abundant in alpine lake sediments. We demonstrate that the egg shells are the remains of Hesperodiaptomus eggs based on (i) the similar size and morphology of egg shells collected from sediments and those produced from the hatching of eggs obtained from laboratory-maintained Hesperodiaptomus, and (ii) the finding that diapausing eggs collected from lake sediments and hatched in the laboratory produced copepod nauplii that were morphologically indistinguishable from those hatched from eggs produced by laboratory-maintained Hesperodiaptomus. Egg shells were approximately two orders of magnitude more abundant in sediment cores than were viable diapausing eggs, making egg shells superior to viable diapausing eggs for quantifying the historical presence and abundance of Hesperodiaptomus. These results have important implications for alpine lake restoration as egg shells can be used to identify lakes in which Hesperodiaptomus was eliminated by fish introductions but has failed to return after fish eradication, lakes in which the pre-disturbance conditions are likely to be restored only by reintroductions of this important taxon. 相似文献

柴达木盆地西部的西台吉乃尔盐湖既是研究成盐演化的典型湖泊,也是一个重要的盐湖资源产地。盐湖沉积物的粒度组成记录了湖泊沉积环境和动力条件的变化,对于理解盐湖的形成演化具有指示意义。目前有关盐湖沉积物粒度参数(平均粒径、标准偏差、偏度和峰度)计算的报道较少。采用Beckman Coulter LS 13320激光粒度仪测定了西台吉乃尔盐湖沉积剖面(XT剖面,240 cm厚)121个样品的粒度组成,并对图解法和矩值法计算出来的粒度参数进行了比较。分析结果表明,1)图解法和矩值法得出的平均粒径和标准偏差非常一致,二者可以相互替代;2)两种方法得出的偏度和峰度存在显著差别,二者不可替代;3)矩值法计算整体考虑了样品粒度的频率分布特征,得到的粒度参数比图解法更全面。 相似文献

Historical changes in sediments of Pyramid Lake,Nevada, USA: consequences of changes in the water balance of a terminal desert lake 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Sediment cores from the shallow and deep basins of Pyramid Lake, Nevada, revealed variations in composition with depth reflecting changes in lake level, river inflow, and lake productivity. Recent sediments from the period of historical record indicate: (1) CaCO3 and organic content of sediment in the shallow basin decrease at lower lake level, (2) CaCO3 content of deep basin sediments increases when lake level decreases rapidly, and (3) the inorganic P content of sediments increases with decreasing lake volume. Variations in sediment composition also indicate several periods for which productivity in Pyramid Lake may have been elevated over the past 1000 years. Our data provide strong evidence for increased productivity during the first half of the 20th Century, although the typical pattern for cultural eutrophication was not observed. The organic content of sediments also suggests periods of increased productivity in the lake prior to the discovery and development of the region by white settlers. Indeed, a broad peak in organic fractions during the 1800's originates as an increase starting around 1600. However, periods of changing organic content of sediments also correspond to periods when inflow to the lake was probably at extremes (e.g. drought or flood) indicating that fluctuations in river inflow may be an important factor affecting sediment composition in Pyramid Lake. 相似文献

全球气候恶化,洪涝、风沙、干旱等自然灾害频繁,科学研究预测区域乃至全球环境演变趋势,并采取有效措施加以防治,成为目前全人类面临的一大课题。要科学的掌握环境变化的规律,就必须研究过去的环境变迁,沉积物无疑是最好的研究对象。而湖泊在其发生发展过程中,直接出露于地表,其沉积物则是最好记录环境变化信息的载体。近几年来元素地球化学在研究湖泊演变历史,揭示湖泊环境变迁等方面取得了很大的进展。根据目前的研究现状,今后的工作应着眼于分析研究引起源泊环境变化的原因,环境演变与人类活动的关系及其演变规律,进而对未来环境演变趋势进行预测和对自然灾害进行防治,或许是今后湖泊沉积物元素地球化学研究的主要方向。 相似文献

Tephras are often used in paleolimnology and other stratigraphicapplications as a chronostratigraphic marker. Where analytical errors inradiocarbon or other dating methods make precise comparison between sitesdifficult, tephras provide an absolute stratigraphic reference that can be usedto assess the relative ages of events across a region. Applications oftephrochronology typically make the assumption that a tephra is deposited atwhat was the top of the stratigraphic sequence at the time of deposition, andthat the contact between the tephra and underlying sediments is anisochron. This paper presents evidence from two lakes in western Canadawhich suggest that tephras may be very mobile within the sedimentary column,particularly in low-density organic lake sediments. Analysis of sedimentcores from Copper Lake, Alberta, suggest that the 6730 BP Mazama tephra moveddown-core by the equivalent of more than 3000 years. A vertical exposureof the Holocene sediments from Doal Lake, Yukon Territory, reveals that the1200 BP White River (WR) tephra, found throughout the southern Yukon, moveddown-sequence through organic lake sediments, to a stratum dating toapproximately 10,000 BP, creating conformable tephra beds at that level. Thistype of stratigraphic displacement has important consequences for the use oftephrochronology in lakes and other soft-sediment environments andunderscores the importance of properly identifying tephras and criticallyassessing their stratigraphic context within a lake core. 相似文献

青藏高原湖泊沉积与环境演变研究：现状与展望 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
从空间尺度、不同时间尺度、重大气候环境变化事件、与其他研究结果的对比以及代用指标与气候要素的定量关系研究等几个方面总结了近十余年来青藏高原湖泊沉积与环境演变研究的主要成果。目前在高原上开展的湖泊沉积与环境演变研究主要分布在三个较为集中的地区：高原东北边缘区、高原西部西昆仑山湖泊群和高原中南部湖泊群。已有的湖泊沉积记录主要是以中长时间尺度的研究为主，而短时间尺度高分辨率的研究稍显不足。与其他地区全球变化研究结果的对比表明，湖泊沉积所反映的高原气候环境变化既具有全球性，又具有区域性的特征。湖泊沉积重建的环境序列的定量化研究仍处于探索阶段。由于湖泊沉积的环境代用指标存在着相对多解性，因此在实际研究中多学科交叉、多指标分析的方法是必需的。当前和今后需要深入开展环境代用指标与气候要素之间定量关系的研究，进一步提高沉积物定年的精确性，发现新的更为敏感的环境代用指标，不断完善多学科多环境代用指标的综合分析，并注重填补不同区域不同时间尺度的研究空白，加强高原上不同区域之间的对比研究。 相似文献

湖泊粉尘记录是研究区域大气粉尘演化历史的重要载体,而现代过程研究是定量提取湖泊沉积物中粉尘信号的重要基础。对山西公海湖泊沉积岩芯样品及周边不同类型的表土样品开展了粒度分析,并对岩芯样品进行粒度组分的定量分离。结果表明：全新世湖泊岩芯样品以黏粒（<2 μm）、细粉砂（2～19 μm）和粗粉砂（19～78 μm）为主,粗粉砂组分的粒度特征与湖泊沉积物中的石英颗粒、黄土样品中的粗粒组分及现代大气降尘的粒度特征相似,石英颗粒的表面微形态也具有典型风成特征。因此,公海湖泊沉积物中粒径19～78 μm的粗粉砂组分可用来代表大气粉尘的变化,这与湖泊沉积物中粗粉砂组分是大气尘暴降尘主要组分的认识一致。另外,公海湖泊冰面粉尘样品的平均粒径还具有从西北向东南递减的趋势,表现出与冬季风方向一致的特征,进一步表明公海湖泊沉积物中粗粉砂组分可以代表东亚冬季风强度的变化。因此,公海湖泊岩芯中的粗粉砂组分可用来重建全新世大气粉尘变化以及可能的东亚冬季风强度演化历史。 相似文献

选择巴丹吉林沙漠17个代表性盐湖,采集了2013年春季和秋季湖泊边缘表层沉积物样品,通过X衍射分析其盐类矿物组成和百分含量;应用Landsat 8遥感数据提取了上述两时段湖泊面积。结果发现,自春季到秋季13个面积减小的湖泊中,碳酸盐类矿物百分含量均较低,变化不明显;氯化物矿物和总盐类矿物百分含量均有增加,其增加幅度与湖泊面积变化有关。面积减少超过10%的湖泊,氯化物矿物或硫酸盐矿物百分含量总体明显增加;其余面积减少的湖泊,氯化物矿物百分含量均较春季有一定的增加,盐类矿物总百分含量也有一定程度的增加,但与湖泊面积减小程度相比没有更为明显的规律。4个面积增大的湖泊中沉积物的总盐类矿物百分含量和各盐类矿物的百分含量并未呈现显著相关性,表明在该区域湖泊面积的变化过程中,湖泊边缘表层沉积物中的盐类矿物百分含量对盐湖萎缩的指示意义相对高于湖泊扩张时期,氯化物矿物百分含量变化对湖泊面积萎缩变化响应更为敏感。 相似文献

We used statistical analyses to determine which subset of 36 environmental variables best explained variations in surface
sediment δ13C and δ15N from 50 lakes in western Ireland that span a human-impact gradient. The factors controlling lake sediment δ13C and δ15N depended on whether organics in the lake sediment were mostly derived from the lake catchment (allochthonous) or from productivity
within the lake (autochthonous). Lake sediments with a dominantly allochthonous organic source (high C:N ratio sediments)
produced δ13C and δ15N measurements similar to values from catchment vegetation. δ13C and δ15N measurements from lake sediments with a dominantly autochthonous organic source (low C:N ratio sediments) were influenced
by fractionation in the lake and catchment leading up to assimilation of carbon and nitrogen by lacustrine biota. δ13C values from lake sediment samples in agricultural catchments were more negative than δ13C values from lake sediment samples in non-impacted, bogland catchments. Hypolimnetic oxygen concentrations and methane production
had a greater influence on δ13C values than fractionation due to algal productivity. δ15N from lake sediment samples in agricultural catchments were more positive than δ15N in non-impacted bogland catchments. Lower δ15N values from non-impacted lake catchments reflected δ15N values of catchment vegetation, while higher δ15N values in agricultural catchments reflected the high δ15N values of cattle manure and inorganic fertilisers. The influence of changing nitrogen sources and lake/catchment fractionation
processes were more important than early diagenesis for lake sediment δ15N values in this dataset. The results from this study suggest a possible influence of bound inorganic nitrogen on the bulk
sediment δ15N values. We recommend using a suitable method to control for bound inorganic nitrogen in lake sediments, especially when
working with clay-rich sediments. This study confirms the usefulness of δ13C and δ15N from bulk lake sediments, as long as we are mindful of the multiple factors that can influence these values. This study
also highlights how stable isotope datasets from lake surface sediments can complement site-specific isotope source/process
studies and help identify key processes controlling lake sediment δ13C and δ15N in a study area. 相似文献

Corroded Pollen and Spores as Indicators of Changing Lake Sediment Sources and Catchment Disturbance
Pollen and spores with resistant exines are preferentially preserved in soils, and during periods of soil erosion they can become incorporated into lake sediments. As a result, the contemporary vegetation may be poorly represented by the palynomorphs in the lake sediments because of the reworked component of inwashed pollen and spores. We record the proportion of palynomorphs with corroded exines in sediment cores from four lakes in the eastern North Island of New Zealand to document changing sources of palynomorphs over the last 2000 years. During this period, the catchments experienced major vegetation disturbances, both natural (from volcanism and fire) and anthropogenic including deforestation ca. 600 years ago, and the European conversion of fern-scrubland to pasture in the 19th century. Corroded palynomorphs are more abundant in inwashed sediments than authigenic sediments. Catchment soil disturbance was minor during the forested period, and characterised by small, inwashed, sediment pulses after storms, and a relatively low percentage of corroded palynomorphs. Although initial Maori forest clearance by fire led to a temporary increase in erosion in one lake catchment, rapid replacement of forest by a dense bracken fern cover helped to minimise soil erosion and reworking of palynomorphs in this period. European pastoralists replaced the bracken fern with shallow-rooted pasture grasses about 150 years ago. In erosion prone lake catchments, this led to a rapid increase of inwashed eroded soils and littoral sediments, and their component of resistant palynomorphs, reaching the lake sediments. As a result, the palynological records from these catchments during the European period are distorted by reworking. By contrast, over the same period, the palynological record from a lake with no inflowing streams and stable catchment soils more faithfully represented the contemporary vegetation cover. Exine corrosion has been used to help identify periods of reworking in the lake sediments and to allow for a correction of distortion caused by reworking. 相似文献

Medicine Lake is a highly saline, meromictic, magnesium sulfate, closed-basin lake in northeastern South Dakota. The geochemical, mineralogical, and magnetic stratigraphies of sediments deposited from about 10.8 to 4.5 ka B.P. document the evolution of the saline brine in response to climatic change in the early to mid-Holocene. During the spruce occupation of the Medicine Lake catchment (10.8–10.0 ka B.P.), dark-grey massive basal sediments with low total-sulfur and carbonate content, upwardly increasing organic-carbon content, and high magnetic susceptibility were deposited in a deep freshwater lake. As the vegetation in the area changed from spruce to birch to oak and elm and finally to prairie between 10.0 and 9.2 ka B.P., and as the lake became shallow and salinity increased from <2 to >10%, light-and dark-grey calcareous and organic-carbon-rich banded sediments with low total-sulfur content and low magnetic susceptibility were deposited. Previous studies have shown that during the forest/prairie transition the lake then changed abruptly from fresh to saline as it lost a substantial portion of its volume. During the early prairie period (9.2–5.5 ka B.P.), alternating sections of aragonite-rich laminae and grey massive sediments with high total-sulfur content and multiple gypsum layers were deposited in a meromictic environment under conditions of fluctuating lake levels and salinity. Continued aridity during the mid-Holocene (5.5–4.5 ka B.P.) probably maintained the lake at relatively low levels and high salinity as dark-grey generally massive sediments with moderate total-sulfur, carbonate, and organic-carbon content and no measurable magnetic susceptibility were deposited. 相似文献

Lake sediments contain viable allochthonous bacteria that can be cultured and used for palaeoecological studies. To be a good palaeoindicator, a bacterium must be able to survive in sediments for long periods of time, but also be unable to reproduce in the lake bottom. Bacteria can survive the unfavourable environmental conditions in lake sediments as resting cells. The endospore is the most specialized form and gives the bacterium an extreme longevity. The oldest viable endospores isolated from lake sediments that we are aware of are about 9000 years old.Several species, mainly in the genera Thermoactinomyces, Bacillus and Clostridium, form endospores. Clostridium perfringens has been used as palaeoindicator for sewage pollution, while Thermoactinomyces vulgaris is an indicator for past agricultural activity in the boreal forest zone and a potential climatic indicator in other vegetation zones. Although isolation and enumeration of bacterial endospores from lake sediments is rather easy and has considerable potential as a powerful tool in palaeoecology, the number of studies using palaeoecological approaches is limited. 相似文献

There is an important volume of published information on Lac Dufault (Québec) which describes the history of metal inputs over 70 years and the changes that occurred in the lake as a result of this contamination. We used this abundant source of chronological markers to test the hypothesis that lake sediments can provide true historical records of trace metal loading from metal mining. Sediment cores were obtained from the deepest zone of the lake (19 m). The sediments were dated using 210Pb and 137Cs and they were analyzed for total elemental concentrations (Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, P, Pb, S, Zn). Metal profiles in the sediment core preserved the distinct signatures of different mine exploitations documented in the lake watershed. In particular, the core recorded: the beginning of industrialization in 1926; increasing sedimentation rates associated with perturbations in the lake watershed; the maximum of sediment [Cu] and the contemporary exploitation of ore bodies rich in Cu; the maximum of sediment [Fe] and the contemporary production of pyrite by a mining operation; the low sediment [Cu] and [Zn] in the 1950s and the low contemporary production of these metals by mining operations; the maximum of sediment [Cd] and the contemporary production of Cd by a subsequent mining operation. Anomalies in the distribution of 214Pb activities in sediments reflected the intensity of acid mine drainage (AMD). There is good evidence that the lake resisted acidification from this AMD for the last thirty years. Overall, our results support the thesis that profiles of sedimentary Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb and Fe levels reflect the past history of metal input to Lac Dufault. 相似文献

Remains of tardigrades have rarely been reported to preserve in sediments, resulting in the absence of important ecological
and biogeographic information that they could provide. However, a study of faunal microfossils in Antarctic lake sediment
cores has shown that tardigrade eggs and occasionally exuvia can be abundant. Eggs from at least five tardigrade species were
identified in sediment cores from six lakes from across the continent, with abundances up to 6,000 (g−1 dry wt.). It is likely that the cold temperatures and absence of benthic grazers in Antarctic lakes results in particularly
good preservation conditions, though it may also be a function of population density. The conservation of tardigrade eggs
and exuvia in lake sediments enables a better understanding of paleodistributions and effects of environmental changes for
this phylum that cannot otherwise be obtained. 相似文献

In paleolimnology, subfossil head capsules of chironomids play an important role as ecological indicators of lake history. It is important to determine, therefore, whether fossil assemblages are representative of former biocoenoses. There is evidence that headcapsules washed in from other places can make up a significant percentage of the total. As interpretations are usually drawn from the examination of a single core, it is of special interest to know whether a fossil assemblage of a single site properly reflects limnological conditions of the whole lake. This study examined the taxonomic distribution of subfossil chironomids in the surficial sediments of the Bodensee-Untersee, with the aim of assessing the variability in chironomid assemblages. Apparently, most of the head capsules of the profundal fossil assemblages in the Untersee had been washed in from the littoral zone or from the slope. Although the Bodensee-Untersee is a rather large lake, variability is surprisingly low among all samples. Therefore a correct interpretation from a single core may be possible. 相似文献

The carbon cycle and biogeochemical dynamics in lake sediments 总被引：30，自引：3，他引：27

The concentrations of organic carbon (OC) and CaCO3 in lake sediments are often inversely related. This relation occurs in surface sediments from different locations in the same lake, surface sediments from different lakes, and with depth in Holocene sediments. Where data on accumulation rates are available, the relation holds for organic carbon and CaCO3 accumulation rates as well. An increase of several percent OC is accompanied by a decrease of several tens of percent CaCO3 indicating that the inverse relation is not due to simple dilution of one component by another. It appears from core data that once the OC concentration in the sediments becomes greater than about 12%, the CO2 produced by decomposition of that OC and production of organic acids lowers the pH of anoxic pore waters enough to dissolve any CaCO3 that reaches the sediment-water interface. In a lake with a seasonally anoxic hypolimnion, processes in the water column also can produce an inverse relation between OC and CaCO3 over time. If productivity of the lake increases, the rain rate of OC from the epilimnion increases. Biogenic removal of CO2 and accompanying increase in pH also may increase the production of CaCO3. However, the decomposition of organic matter in the hypolimnion will decrease the pH of the hypolimnion causing greater dissolution of CaCO3 and therefore a decrease in the rain rate of CaCO3 to the sediment-water interface. 相似文献
