Abstract
Abstract: We investigated the ecological effects of terrestrial ecosystem change during the hemlock decline and recovery (4,800–3,500 BP) on lake communities (diatoms and chrysophytes). This study specifically assessed the role of catchment area and slope in determining the magnitude of lake eutrophication during the hemlock decline by analyzing sediment cores from five alkaline, holomictic lakes in southeastern Ontario, Canada. The study lakes were similar in most limnological aspects, but differed widely in the relative sizes of their catchments. Diatoms were used to quantitatively infer past lake-water total phosphorus (TP) concentrations. All five lakes showed shifts in their algal communities during the hemlock decline, but most lakes exhibited only minor changes in trophic status. The magnitude of the limnological response appears to be related to catchment size and slope. Long Lake, Burridge Lake, and Gunter Lake possess the smallest catchments and exhibited the weakest responses to the hemlock decline. The catchment area of Flower Round Lake is considerably larger and steeper than these lakes, and was the only lake to show a marked eutrophication. Aulacoseira ambigua bloomed and diatom-inferred TP concentration increased by 14 µg 1−1. Catchment slope appears to have influenced the type of material exported into the lakes. Lake basins draining catchments with gentle relief received proportionally greater amounts of organic matter, whereas steeper catchments supplied relatively greater proportions of mineral matter. Faster water flow associated with steeper catchment slope may have enhanced mineral erosion Following the hemlock decline, nutrient supplies to most of the study lakes were reduced. The period of forest recovery was associated with an 11 µg 1−1 reduction in diatom-inferred lake-water TP concentration in Flower Round Lake, and algal populations decreased. Our results generally support the ecological theory of forest ecosystem development and secondary succession developed from long-term data collected at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Ecosystem.
