“…, 2009), because Si reflects both siliciclastic matter and biogenic components. Low values of Si/Al in sediment unit I reflect low biogenic silica contents, proven by diatom counts in core LM 1b, and therefore a low internal productivity, which is in good agreement with limnological data (Guilizzoni et al. , 2012).…”

“…3). The generally darker colour of sediment unit II is attributable to increased organic material as indicated by an increase in loss on ignition and total carbon in core LM 1b (Guilizzoni et al. , 2012) as well as higher abundances of diatom frustules observed in thin sections and determined in core LM 1b by Guilizzoni et al.…”

“…Birks & Birks, ; Davidson et al ., ; Michelutti & Smol, ). However, with few notable exceptions (Birks & Birks, ; Sayer et al ., ; Guilizzoni et al ., ), rarely have such studies been conducted on as large a number of biological groups as here, most involving a mix of physical and chemical proxies with just one or two biological groups included to infer broader environmental change. Of course, handling data from several fossil groups and multiple cores is not straightforward, but the approach taken here, where plant and animal macrofossil data are amalgamated from three cores, has proved successful in revealing a strong sequence of events and coherent patterns which are consistent with botanical records from the site (Davidson et al ., ).…”

“…Numerous palaeoecological studies have examined one or more of these fossil groups to assess ecological response to eutrophication (e.g. Leavitt et al ., ; Miskimmin, Leavitt & Schindler, ; Brooks, Bennion & Birks, ; Taylor et al ., ; Sayer et al ., ; Guilizzoni et al ., ; Hobbs et al ., ). However, the potential of the fuller sediment record for assessing food‐web alterations and interactions between the various components of shallow lake ecosystems, over long timescales, is yet to be fully explored.…”

“…One of the biggest problems in these areas which are affected by climate change is the quality and quantity of water resources supplied to the growing population (Pouliotte et al ., ). Numerous studies have demonstrated that climate changes have significant effects on water temperature (Dokulil et al ., ; Schneider, 2009; Hetherington et al ., ) and lake ecosystems (Verburg and Hecky, ; Guilizzoni et al ., ). Lake and reservoir water temperature is sensitive to meteorological variables.…”
