| 英文摘要 | Lakes and wetlands in populated areas have become very vulnerable to pollution and habitat degradation, seriously threatening regional ecological security and socio-economic development. Exploring long-term environmental changes in these systems is essential to reveal the interactions of human activities and catchments, and further to provide valuable reference for current restoration. In this paper, we present paleolimnological data from a short sedimentary core from Liangzi Lake, a typical wetland nature reserve in the middle and lower Yangtze River Basin, China. Multiple sedimentary proxies (principally pollen but also geochemistry and grain size data) combined with historical records were used to establish environmental changes of Liangzi Lake, in both terrestrial and lacustrine aspects, over the last 150 years. Despite the influence of hydrological processes to some extent, our results indicate that the anthropogenic effects (negative and positive) are well recorded by the sedimentary records. The landscape changes of the wider Liangzi Lake wetland can be placed into four stages: less disturbed background (before the 1950s), hydrological regulation (1950s-1960s), intensive reclamation (1970s-1990s), and wetland restoration (starting in the late 1990s). Agriculture and hydrological control were the most important factors in transforming the wetland landscapes, as well as the aquatic ecosystem. The changes in the lake itself could be divided into three main stages: low nutrient levels and unstable hydrologic condition with dominant emergent plants (before the 1960s), rising nutrient levels and a stable water environment with increasing submerged plants (1960s-1990s), and high nutrient and pollution levels with the subsequent adjustment and restoration (after the late 1990s). Our study provides a comprehensive history of environmental changes of a typical inland lake and its surrounding wetland, and may contribute to future wetland conservation in similar regions, as well as pollen-based environmental reconstruction studies. |
