Eutrophication is a major global concern in lakes, caused by excessive nutrient loadings
(nitrogen and phosphorus) from human activities and likely exacerbated by climate change …

Quantitative reconstructions from biological proxies have revolutionised palaeolimnology
but the methodology is not without problems. The most important of these result from …

Lake sediments constitute natural archives of past environmental changes. Historically,
research has focused mainly on generating regional climate records, but records of human …

Fossils of chironomid larvae (non‐biting midges) preserved in lake sediments are well‐
established palaeotemperature indicators which, with the aid of numerical chironomid …

Many large rivers in China have an inflow of contaminated water. Water pollution caused by
urban sewage and agriculture, and occasionally pollution events from industries have …

Palaeolimnology and contemporary ecology are complementary disciplines but are rarely
combined. By reviewing the literature and using a case study, we show how linking the …

Calibration data sets give a unique opportunity to establish patterns of biological existence
and their statistical associations with environmental variables. By use of calibration data …

To correctly interpret chironomid faunas for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, it is
essential that we improve our understanding of the relative influence of ecosystem variables …

Dachigam-Dara catchment feeding the world-famous Dal Lake was assessed and evaluated
for water quality and anthropogenic impacts using physico-chemical and biological data …

Wetland habitats are changing under multiple anthropogenic pressures. Nutrient leakage
and pollution modify physico‐chemical state of wetlands and affect the ecosystem through …
