“…Climate instability at ~3500–2000 cal. BP noted in the palaeorecords of Northern Hemisphere regions (Bezrukova et al, 2008; Brooks et al, 2015; Jennings et al, 2002; Mayewski et al, 2004) also affected pollen records of the Southern and Middle Urals lakes (Maslennikova et al, 2014, 2016b).…”

“…These investigations made it possible to establish climate changes and major stages of vegetation in the Urals (Khotinsky, 1977). These data were updated by the palynological analysis and AMS 14 C dating of the peat cores (Panova and Antipina, 2015; Zaretskaya et al, 2014) and lake sediment cores (Maslennikova et al, 2014, 2015, 2016b).…”

“…Pollen records of the Middle and the Southern Urals demonstrate the synchronous shift from sparse larch forest to the forest with pine and birch and final spread of arboreal vegetation at ~11,200 cal. BP (Maslennikova et al, 2015, 2016b). It could reflect the response of vegetation to the abrupt climate warming expressed in the Greenland ice-core records at 11,320 b2k and following the 11.4 ka cooling event (Rasmussen et al, 2014) or Preboreal Oscillation (Björck et al, 1996).…”

Major changes in the Holocene were identified based on a diatom and geochemical analysis of sediment cores from Lakes Ufimskoe and Syrytkul (the Southern Urals). The Lake Ufimskoe ecosystem in the Central mountain area is identified to be highly sensitive to variations in temperature. Meanwhile, Lake Syrytkul is more responsive to climate aridization because of its limnological characteristics and less precipitation in the piedmont area. Climate events were the main drivers for lake ecosystems dynamics throughout almost the whole history of the lakes. The records of lake sediments reflect several climate events noted elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere: Lateglacial–Holocene transition (~12,000–11,600), Preboreal oscillation (~11,200–11,000 cal. BP), climate warming and aridization (~9700–9600 cal. BP), warming and increase in precipitation since 9000 cal. BP, climate aridization at ~5800 cal. BP, cooling since 4000 cal. BP, and warming at ~2500 cal. BP. Climate warming of the last hundred years was not reflected in lake sediment records because of the significant human impact on the lake ecosystem. The upper sediments of both lakes are enriched in As, Bi, Sb, Te, Sn, Cd, Cu, Zn and Pb because of the influence of the Karabash copper smelter. However, the significant changes of the Lake Syrytkul ecosystem are not related to the technogenic impact and explained mainly by the dam construction. The changes in diatom communities identified in Lake Ufimskoe, which is located in an area geologically sensitive to acidification, are related to the acidification and heavy metal loading on the water area.
