Urmia Lake desiccation and the signs of local climate changes
The water crisis is one of the important issues in the Middle East countries. Many lakes are drying up and/or facing critical situations, exerting tremendous impacts on the socio-economics of their region. Lake Urmia, in northwestern Iran, currently is facing critical situations and is on the brink of total shrinkage and environmental disaster. This paper investigates the roots of crises t...
متن کاملEstablishing chironomids as paleo-indicators for Lake Tanganyika: a preliminary qualitative assessment of chironomid distribut
This paper presents the results of a preliminary qualitative study on the distribution and diversity of live larval chironomids (Insecta: Order Diptera, non-biting midges) in the Kigoma Bay Region of Lake Tanganyika. In recent years, fossil midges have been used extensively, both as ecological indicators of anthropogenic impacts on lakes, and as proxies in paleoclimate/paleoecological studies (...
متن کاملAnaerobic oxidation of methane in sediments of Lake Constance, an oligotrophic freshwater lake.
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate as terminal electron acceptor has been reported for various environments, including freshwater habitats, and also, nitrate and nitrite were recently shown to act as electron acceptors for methane oxidation in eutrophic freshwater habitats. Radiotracer experiments with sediment material of Lake Constance, an oligotrophic freshwater lake, were per...
متن کاملResponse of a littoral macroinvertebrate assemblage to a persistent hydrological drought in a permanent mountain shallow lake from northwestern Spain
Correspon Abstract – Current projections predict an intensifi cation of hydrological drought as a consequence of climate change, but we know very little about the potential effects on aquatic communities. La Baña (SW León Province, Spain) is a mountain lake suffering from increased water seepage due to geological reasons. This has caused since 2005 a situation of hydrological drought, with pron...
متن کاملPatterns in Benthic Biodiversity Link Lake Trophic Status to Structure and Potential Function of Three Large, Deep Lakes
Relative to their scarcity, large, deep lakes support a large proportion of the world's freshwater species. This biodiversity is threatened by human development and is in need of conservation. Direct comparison of biodiversity is the basis of biological monitoring for conservation but is difficult to conduct between large, insular ecosystems. The objective of our study was to conduct such a com...
