Our research aimed to evaluate, how urbanization affects lake ecosystems and Cladocera in particular. For this purpose, we chose a small urban with well-documented history. Lake Velnezers (located Riga, Latvia) is currently surrounded by apartment building complexes. Construction works around started the 1950s continued up until 1970s. To investigate transition from forested agricultural further urbanized land affected ecosystem took sediment core that covers time period before 1875 2018. We...
Cultural eutrophication, the process by which pollution due to human activity speeds up natural is a widespread and consequential issue. Here, we present 85-year history of small, initially Lobelia–Isoëtes dominated lake. The lake’s ecological deterioration was intensified water pumping station activities when it received replenishment for more than 10 years from eutrophic lake through pipe. In this study, performed paleolimnological assessment determine how ecosystem functioning changed...
