Reconstruction of palaeoenvironmental changes in the area of Lake Syczyńskie on the basis of palaeoecological analyses

Piotr Kulesza, Krystyna Bałaga

Abstract


On the basis of lake sediments studies (palynological, subfossil Ostracoda and geochemical analyses) the main stages of the palaeoenvironmental changes were obtained. Lake Syczyńskie is situated in the Pagóry Chełmskie region. Defined changes of plants, Ostracoda and variability of the main characteristics sediments (content of organic matter and calcium carbonate) showed high compatibility with widely recognised stages of climate change during the Late Glacial and the holocene. The detailed analysis allowed indicating the main phases of biological development of the lake based on the processes of eutrophication, hydrological changes in the lake catchment and temperature conditions. Determined Ostracoda species in the sediments of Lake Syczyńskie, among other Cytherissa lacustris, Metacypris cordata and Fabaeformiscandona protzi is the basis of concluding about significant changes in the functioning of the lake occurring under the influence of climate changes.
