Cladocera and Geochemical Variables from Core Sediments Show Different Conditions of Hungarian Lakes
Studies on the sediments of lakes with varying trophic status are of particular importance when considering changes in the natural environment. In this study, our objective was to examine subfossil remains of Cladocera species and the relationship between the sedimental Cladocera assemblages and geochemical variables during 11 years of sediment records from northern Hungarian lakes. To achieve this, we compared sedimental cladoceran communities and the geochemistry of the sediment layers among lakes. Among the studied lakes, one was an intermittent lake (KMT: the Kis-Morotva Lake) which dried out in 2012 but was subsequently naturally refilled in 2013 by groundwater affected by the high-water level of the River Tisza. The other type consisted of permanent lakes (SZA: the Szabolcs oxbow lake, TI: the Timár Morotva Lake) that never dried out. The results of the beta diversity analysis show that the deposition of Cladocera communities was similar among the sediment layers of lakes, while the abundance differences contributed significantly to replacement. Subsequently, core sediment samples of the three lakes were compared based on the remains of Cladocera communities and geochemical variables using Adonis (PERMANOVA). The core sediment samples indicate variations in Cladocera communities alongside disparities in geochemical variables across the same lakes. In conclusion, the significance of sediment cores containing the remains of the Cladocera community has grown significantly in the reconstruction of historical ecological and climatic changes.
