Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions with temporal coverages extending beyond Marine
Isotope Stage (MIS) three are scarce within the data sparse region of Chukotka, Far East …

The diatom oxygen isotope composition (δ 18 O diatom) from lacustrine sediments helps
tracing the hydrological and climate dynamics in individual lake catchments, and is …

Relationships between climate, species composition, and species richness are of particular
importance for understanding how boreal ecosystems will respond to ongoing climate …

Abstract Industrialization in the Northern Hemisphere has led to warming and pollution of
natural ecosystems. We used paleolimnological methods to explore whether recent climate …

Arctic sea-ice loss is emblematic of an amplified Arctic water cycle and has critical feedback
implications for global climate. Stable isotopes (δ18O, δ2H, d-excess) are valuable tracers …

Lakes cover large parts of the climatically sensitive Arctic landscape and respond rapidly to
environmental change. Arctic lakes have different origins and include the predominant …

Climate change has a major impact on arctic and boreal terrestrial ecosystems as warming
leads to northward treeline shifts, inducing consequences for heterotrophic organisms …

Large, old and heterogenous lake systems are valuable sources of biodiversity. The
analysis of current spatial variability within such lakes increases our understanding of the …

Only a few palaeo-records extend beyond the Holocene in Yakutia, eastern Siberia, since
most of the lakes in the region are of Holocene thermokarst origin. Thus, we have a poor …

Lakes act as important sinks for inorganic and organic sediment components. However,
investigations of sedimentary carbon budgets within glacial lakes are currently absent from …
