Special
Issue title: Paleolimnology and paleoecology in a rapidly changing Asia
Asia
is home to more than four billion people with a broad variety of climate types
and inland waters. Across this vast land mass, climate change (i.e. regional
warming, extreme events) and atmospheric processes (i.e. nitrogen deposition)
have altered the cycling of surface waters and biogeochemistry. With accelerating
societal and catchment development, inland waters in many parts of Asia have
been increasingly modulated with shrinking aquatic resources, deteriorating
water quality and decreasing ecological health. In regard to a general lack of
long-term and systematic monitoring data, sediment records are particularly
important in providing the inland water history of environmental change and
ecological shifts for sustaining socio-economic development.
With
the research field of paleolimnology and paleoecology expanding in many parts
of Asia over the last decade, the proposed special issue aims to highlight some
of the up-to-date results of sediment studies from different parts of Asia,
with a special focus on the temporal patterns and drivers of altered aquatic
environment and ecological structure (i.e. communities, biodiversity,
stability). The applications of new analytical methods and cutting-edge ecological
perspective into sediment records are encouraged with a time scale limited
within the period of Holocene (including Anthropocene). An estimated number of
10-15 articles will be published in this special issue.
