    Climatic Reflection in Varved Lake Sediments

    The individual thicknesses of about 1300 varves (230 A.D. — 1552 A.D.) of the varved lake sediment from Lake Judesjön, N. Sweden, were measured to study short-term climatic changes. The results indicate a cycl...

    Prehistoric increases in the pH of acid-sensitive Swedish lakes caused by land-use changes

    IN the past few decades, there has been considerable debate about whether vegetational and soil changes associated with changing land-use can cause surface-water acidification in lakes1,2. Although it is now wide...

    Spatial heterogeneity of diatom stratigraphy in varved and non-varved sediments of a small, boreal-forest lake

    Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of recent diatom stratigraphy were assessed for a small (23 ha) dimictic lake in Northern Sweden (Kassjön). Varves are confined to water depths > 10 m. Six freeze cores were ...

    Recovery from acidification in Lake Örvattnet, Sweden

    Lake Örvattnet has been monitored extensively for both chemical and biological variables since 1967. The lake acidified during the 1960's and pH was mostly below 5 throughout the 1970's. Due to the acidificati...

    Lake Sediment Records of Fossil Fuel-derived Carbonaceous Aerosols from Combustion

    The ultimate value of black carbon archives in sediments as paleo-records of past combustion activities depends entirely upon our ability to accurately interpret this information and hinges upon our understand...

    Stable Isotope and Concentration Records of Atmospheric Lead Pollution in Peat and Lake Sediments in Sweden

    We compare lead concentration and stable lead isotope analyses from three peat bog and three lake sediment records in Sweden. Radiocarbon dated stratigraphies give evidence that trends in the concentration of ...

    Image analysis as a method to quantify sediment components

    Varved lake sediments, with their annual to seasonal resolution, have a high potential for inferring past environmental and climatic conditions. To fully utilize the information present in varved records, high...

    Vertical Distribution of Atmospheric Pollution Lead in Swedish Boreal Forest Soils

    In order to understand the fate of anthropogenic lead (Pb)pollution in boreal forest soils, and to predict future trends, it is important to know where in the soil the pollution Pb is accumulated and how large...
