“…In cores from Längsee, based on diatom and paleobotanical evidence constrained by radiocarbon dates from bulk gyttja, a warm period termed the Längsee oscillation (18.5 to 18.1 ka cal BP) was identified (Huber et al, 2010). This was followed by a cold period that lasted until the beginning of the Bølling/Allerød interstadial.…”

“…The Längsee cold period between 17.5 and 14.6 ka cal BP may have consisted of two cold intervals separated by an intervening slightly warmer period. It is suggested that the earlier of the Längsee cold intervals (17.6 to 16.9 ka cal BP) is linked with the Gschnitz stadial (Schmidt et al, 2009(Schmidt et al, , 2012Huber et al, 2010).…”

“…Most studies provide data from the palaeobotanical record (Kolstrup, 1980;Huijzer and Vandenberghe, 1998;Bos et al, 2001;Bohncke et al, 2008). A few present data on the basis provided by other proxies: diatoms (Huber et al, 2010), macrofossils, and coleopterans (Bos et al, 2004), and also chironomids , Płóciennik et al, 2011. This is connected with the fact that the number of lacustrine records covering parts of the late Weichselian in Europe are limited.…”

Abstract:The early sedimentological and ecological developmental stages of a late Vistulian lake in the Żabieniec swamp near Łódź (central Poland) were analysed by radiometric dating, changes in the frequency of specimens and species composition of Cladocera and multivariate statistical analysis (DCA). The longevity of the lake resulted in a fairly complete sedimentary record from approximately 22 ka to 11 ka cal BP. Species composition and the variability in the frequency of Cladocera specimens has made it possible to distinguish eleven zones of their development, which are well correlated with radiocarbon data. The results were compared to those from other sites of north and central Europe. The initial Cladocera development comprises the richest and oldest late Vistulian Cladocera record in Europe. These cladoceran assemblages show that a deep, oligotrophic, moderately coldwater lake was present at the beginning. It appears that the cladoceran development was mainly due to climate change, but also to changes in locally prevailing conditions in the water body. The high frequency of cladocerans, as well as the presence of cladoceran taxa preferring warmer water, was noted before approximately 16 ka BP. The biota suggests that the Oldest Dryas cooling was not severe and fairly variable in terms of humidity and temperature. The changes in Cladocera composition give evidence of what is described as the Intra-Bølling Cold Oscillation. It is also concluded that the Bølling is represented by two phases in the Żabieniec lake sediments.

“…Here we aim to assess changes in some main constituents of the planktic and benthic communities (diatoms, chrysophytes, chironomids) of a set of mid-Alpine lakes in the Niedere Tauern region in Austria in relation to climatic warming by comparing community and environmental data from 1998-1999 to data from 2010-2011. Although many paleolimnological studies on Alpine climate change over centennial to millennial timescales exist (e.g., Lotter et al, 1997;Heiri et al, 2003;Huber et al, 2010;Larocque-Tobler et al, 2010;Ilyashuk et al, 2011;Nevalainen et al, 2014), data on recent community changes in Alpine lakes are rare, despite their indisputable value for environmental quality and conservation programs, and for better understanding the effects of global climate change on lake ecosystems.…”
