Abstract
Lakes are particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and thus considered sentinels and integrators of processes that occur in the atmosphere and terrestrial environments. Individual up to ecosystemic metabolic pathways and nutrient cycling in lakes respond to both natural and human disturbances. Disentangling the effect of such different forces is a particular challenge for lake ecological studies. Here we present a conference paper based on previous studies carried out in Andean-Patagonian lakes under two important events: the Puyehue–Cordón Caulle eruption in 2011 and the glacial recession with a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in 2009. We discuss how biological variables responded to these two natural events that produced the input of minerogenic inorganic particles into the lakes. We present the combination of observational and experimental research, including new molecular methods, that contributed to understanding the effects of these inorganic particles on aquatic ecosystems. Both events involved changes in the transparency of the lakes that affected phytoplankton parameters (biomass vertical distribution), bacteria composition and community structuring process. Finally, both events had very contrasting effects on zooplankton, in the same range of particle concentrations. Particles from glacial melting are beneficial for daphnids reducing the impact of ultraviolet radiation and increasing the quality of the food. In contrast, volcanic ashes are abrasive materials that have a deleterious effect for filtering zooplankton.
期刊介绍:
The realization that a historical perspective is often useful, if not essential, to the understanding of most limnological processes has resulted in the recent surge of interest in paleolimnology. The main aim of the Journal of Paleolimnology is the provision of a vehicle for the rapid dissemination of original scientific work dealing with the reconstruction of lake histories. Although the majority of papers deal with lakes, paleoenvironmental studies of river, wetland, peatland and estuary systems are also eligible for publication.
The Journal of Paleolimnology, like the subject itself, is multidisciplinary in nature, and papers are published that are concerned with all aspects (e.g. biological, chemical, physical, geological, etc.) of the reconstruction and interpretation of lake histories. Both applied and more theoretical papers are equally encouraged. The Journal of Paleolimnology will continue to be a major repository for papers dealing with climatic change, as well as other pressing topics, such as global environmental change, lake acidification, eutrophication, long-term monitoring, and other aspects of lake ontogeny. Taxonomic and methodological papers are also acceptable provided they are of relatively broad interest. New equipment designs are frequently featured. In addition to original data and ideas, the Journal of Paleolimnology also publishes review articles, commentaries and program announcements. A relevant Book Review Section is also featured.
