Over recent decades, palaeolimnological records from remote sites have provided convincing evidence for the onset and development of several facets of global environmental change. Remote lakes, defined here as those occurring in high latitude or high altitude regions, have the advantage of not being overprinted by local anthropogenic processes. As such, many of these sites record broad-scale environmental changes, frequently driven by regime shifts in the Earth system. Here, we review a selection of studies from North America and Europe and discuss their broader implications. The history of investigation has evolved synchronously with the scope and awareness of environmental problems. An initial focus on acid deposition switched to metal and other types of pollutants, then climate change and eventually to atmospheric deposition-fertilising effects. However, none of these topics is independent of the other, and all of them affect ecosystem function and biodiversity in profound ways. Currently, remote lake palaeolimnology is developing unique datasets for each region investigated that benchmark current trends with respect to past, purely natural variability in lake systems. Fostering conceptual and methodological bridges with other environmental disciplines will upturn contribution of remote lake palaeolimnology in solving existing and emerging questions in global change science and planetary stewardship. 相似文献

Environmental risks associated with aeration of a freshwater sediment exposed to mine drainage water 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The study examined freshwater sediments from a pond receiving waters from an open-pit lignite quarry located in Europe's Black Triangle in the northern part of the Czech Republic. Sediments were studied with respect to chemical changes upon aeration to assess the risks associated with their acidification and release of toxic metals. Three types of sediments were sampled: orange precipitates of ferric oxides, underlying black anoxic material and brown clayey material from the original bottom of the pond. The experiment revealed that only black anoxic sediment presents environmental concerns upon aeration. Its redox potential rose steeply from -124 up to +412 mV within the first 50 h of aeration, afterwards, it increased only slowly and reached a finale value of +663 mV after 362 h of aeration. The redox changes were accompanied by sulphate production. Up to 97,037.8 mg of sulphate was released into the solution from 1 kg of the sediment. Consequently, the pH values dropped from 6.7 down to 3.3 within the first 50 h of aeration and reached a value of 2.7 at the end of the experiment. The decrease of pH values was followed by increased zinc and manganese mobility. Iron solubilisation was not continuous. An initial drop in iron mobility was followed by an increase, after which the mobility decreased again. This fluctuation reflected the changes in iron solubility depending on the oxidation state and pH changes in the sediment suspension. 相似文献
