Pollen, charcoal and geochemical investigations were carried out on annually laminated sediments of Lake Żabińskie (54°07′54.5″N; 21°59′01.1″E) the results combined with historical climate data to better understand mechanism behind plant cover transformations. A millennium-long record environmental history at 6-years time resolution permitted an assessment vegetation responses past human impact fluctuations. Our show that region repeated periods warfare, epidemics, famine crop failures is...
Reconstructions of paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental data from sediment records require a thorough knowledge the physical, chemical biological factors that influence sediment-formation processes signal preservation in lake sediments. Lake Żabińskie, an eutrophic hardwater located northeastern Poland (Masurian District), provides unique environment for investigation lead to varve formation. During two-year long observation period we investigated limnological hydrochemical conditions within...
Rapid ecosystem transitions and adverse effects on services as responses to combined climate human impacts are of major concern. Yet few long-term (i.e. >60 years) quantitative observational time series exist, particularly for ecosystems that have a long history intervention. Here, we combine three environmental pressures (land use, nutrients erosion) with summer winter reconstructions model simulations explore the system dynamics, resilience role disturbance regimes in varved eutrophic...
<title>Abstract</title> In this study, we present a newly discovered varved sediment site located in western Poland, where such records are scarce. The profile from Lake Gorzyńskie is 10.45 meters long and covers the last ca. 13,250 years. Using varve counting thickness measurements together with radiometric dating (<sup>14</sup>C, <sup>210</sup>Pb, <sup>137</sup>Cs), robust age-depth model was developed. Sediment lithology, microfacies, statistical analysis of chemical composition allow...
Varved lake sediments from Lake Zabihskie (northeastern Poland) provide a high- resolution calendar-year chronology which allows validation of <sup>14</sup>C dating results. Microscopic analysis the varve microfacies revealed that laminations found in were biogenic (calcite) varves.

An interdisciplinary study was undertaken to reconstruct the Late Glacial fluvioglacial and aeolian sediment transformations with a particular focus on soil-forming processes. The studies included complex pedological research (physical chemical properties), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of clay minerals Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating soil/deposit sequences developed within landscape inland dunes in Lake Gościąż catchment (Central Poland). buried Bwb soil horizons are known...
Long-term paleofire perspectives provide key information on natural and human-derived land cover changes. The last few millennia are crucial to understanding the future of wildfire threats, since increasing global temperatures expected have an impact regions previously assumed not be endangered. In this study we investigate interplay between changing climatic conditions, transformation, fires, human activity based first 1750-year-long macrocharcoal record derived from varved sediments Lake...
Owing to its specialised methodology, palaeoecology is often regarded as a separate field from ecology, even though it essential for understanding long-term ecological processes that have shaped the ecosystems ecologists study and manage. Despite advances in modelling, sample dating, proxy-based reconstructions facilitating direct comparison of palaeoecological data with neo-ecological data, most scientific knowledge derived studies remains siloed. We surveyed group palaeo-researchers...
Varved sediments provide a unique opportunity to track the history of eutrophication and oxygen conditions in lacustrine environments. The well-preserved varves indicate hypoxic/anoxic hypolimnetic waters. Sediment records from three lakes (Dubie, Salno Wąsoskie) located northern Poland were investigated determine drivers that led development topmost parts sediment profiles. We distinguished lithozones characterized by different sedimentary structures each core. Age-depth models for record...
Sediments of Lake Lubińskie were investigated to track human-induced vegetation and fire activity changes in Lubusz Land (western Poland). Geochemical data, as well pollen, macrocharcoal, statistical analyses (CONISS, CharAnalysis, PCA, BINCOR) allowed us recognize the major phases human impact. At beginning investigation period, 3000 years ago, area had already experienced disturbances from humans caused by Lusatian Przeworsk cultures, followed western Slavs, modern society. cover mostly...
Abstract Due to rising temperatures worldwide many areas are threatened with increasing numbers of fire occurrence. Poland is among these and projected experience over the next century an increase in both heat stress wildfire activity potential turn its fire-resistant forests into fire-prone forests. This paper aims provide introduction conditions favourable occurrence Poland, summarising research on sedimentary charcoal analysis reviewing reconstructions based natural archives from Poland....

The paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes inferred from shifts in lake sediment geochemistry require reliable, efficient cost-effective methods of analysis. available geochemical techniques, however, suggest that different analytical approaches can influence data interpretation. X-ray fluorescence core scanner analyses (XRF-CS), field portable (FPXRF) inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) were concurrently applied to provide a multi-method appraisal...
Abstract. Here, we present a dataset of decade-long monitoring project Lake Żabińskie, hardwater eutrophic lake in northeast Poland. The contains annually laminated (varved) sediments that form unique archive past environmental variability. Regular measurements the water physical and chemical characteristics were done using multiparameter sonde set temperature sensors deployed column. Seasonal variability sediment fluxes was documented by trap. Field sampling provided information about...
<p>Quantitative paleonvironmental studies using transfer functions are developed from training sets. However, changes in some variables (<em>e.g</em>., climatic) can be difficult to identify short-term monitoring (<em>e.g.,</em> less than one year). Here, we present the study of chrysophyte cyst assemblages sediment traps deployed during two consecutive years (November 2011-November 2013) 14 lakes Northern Poland. The studied distributed along a W-E...
