The concentrations of myxoxanthophyll and oscillaxanthin from the cyanophytes increase with temperature. There are four peak values at 0-14 cm ( present-1891a), 25cm (1786a), 45cm (1581a) . 60cm (1416a) representing four warm and low water level periods during the past 700 years. This was confirmed by the high concentration of carbonate and 13C in these stages. In these 700 years , there were also 4 periods of cold wet climate and high water level as indicated by the tree ring index and high value of native chlorophyll and high , variable CD/TC ratios .展开更多

The chemical composition of the cores was related to the sediment particle size-chronology and location of sampling site.Concentrations of Al, Mg, K, Ca and Na, the major mineral species in the sediments, were generally uniform, with only slight fluctuation influenced by water waves and current. Surface enrichment of Cu, Zn, and Ni at some locations was observed to be greater than that of the sediments accumulated 100 years ago. The enrichment of these elements is attributed to anthropogenic input in recent years. Concentration profiles for Mn and Fe are related to the migration of these elements in the pore water.展开更多
