Siliceous Microalgae in the Lake Ladoga Sediments and their Significance in Paleolimnological Reconstructions
https://doi.org/10.31857/S0869607121060033
Abstract
Diatoms are traditionally applied in studies of the evolution of the Lake Ladoga ecosystem in the late- and postglacial times. The diatoms possess siliceous frustules that are well-preserved in sediments, which enables studying the sedimentary diatom assemblages composition and its variations in time. Cysts of the golden algae (chrysophytes) constitute the second most abundant group of siliceous microfossils in the Ladoga sediments. However, they have not been used in paleoreconstructions until recently. In the present study, we compare the diatom record in the sediment core obtained from the central part of the Lake Ladoga with the absolute and relative abundances of chrysophyte cysts. The study is aimed at reconstruction of the Holocene paleoenvironments in the Lake Ladoga and assessment of the indicative value of the chrysophyte cysts in the studies of the Lake Ladoga evolution. We also maid an effort to interpret the information of the diatom assemblages composition and abundances of the siliceous microalgae in terms of the changing duration of hydrological and hydrobiological seasons resulted from the Lake Ladoga level changes and climatic shifts in the past.
