Full textO município de Bonfim localizado a nordeste do estado de Roraima é caracterizado por apresentar sequências de serras, morros, colinas ravinadas e colinas com vales encaixados, além de elevações residuais que se destacam numa extensa superfície aplainada, somada à formação dos solos arenosos e o alto índice de precipitação que contribuem para ocorrência de ambiente lacustre. A presente pesquisa propôs analisar a paisagem através dos aspectos geomorfológicos, para o entendimento do ambiente lacustre na área de expansão urbana da cidade de Bonfim. Para tanto, fez-se necessário levantamento bibliográfico, cartográfico e de sensores remotos, atividades de campo com intuito de identificar e descrever os compartimentos e unidades geomorfológicas. Também foram realizadas análises das características morfológicas, granulométricas, mineralógicas e química pontual dos sedimentos lacustres. Os resultados demonstraram que a paisagem da região de Bonfim é representada por modelados de dissecação representados por: Patamares em Crista Estruturado, Maciço Somital Convexo, Morros Residuais Estruturados, Morros e Colinas Escalonadas com Vales Abertos e Colinas Dissecadas Abertas. Interligados aos Plainos Erosivos, Superfície de Aplainamento e Plaino Aluvial ao longo das drenagens. Os ambientes lacustres, feições significativas nessa paisagem, ocorrem com predominância da morfologia circular/oval e em menor proporção alongados, compostos e dentríticos. Muitos apresentam regime intermitente a exemplo, do Lago do Italiano em contraste com o sistema perene representado pelo Lago do Bicho. São densamente colonizados por macrófitas aquáticas, como ciperáceas das quais se distribuem conforme as variações de profundidades destes. Os sedimentos/solos são predominantemente arenosos, com grãos angulosos a subangulosos. São compostos essencialmente de quartzo e secundariamente de caulinita, além de goethita e muscovita. A composição química destaca altas concentrações de SiO2, Fe2O3 e Al2O3, afirmando os minerais encontrados nesses sedimentos. Os ambientes lacustres têm sido submetidos à intensa pressão antrópica, representada pela ocupação desordenada que levou a problemas como: lançamentos de efluentes domésticos e descarte de resíduos sólidos. Portanto, é necessária devida atenção aos processos que ocorrem nesses ambientes, pois estes contribuem para compreensão da dinâmica de transformação da paisagem especialmente quando associados ao crescimento urbano desordenado.
The district of Bonfim located northeast of the state of Roraima is characterized in that sequences of mountains, hills, ravines hills and hills with deep valleys, as well as residual elevations that stand out in a large flat surface, in addition to the formation of sandy soils and high precipitation index contribute to the occurrence of lacustrine environment. This study proposed to analyze the landscape through the geomorphological aspects to understand the lacustrine environment in the urban expansion area of the city of Bonfim. Therefore, it was necessary literature, mapping and remote sensing, field activities in order to identify and describe the compartments and geomorphological units. Analysis of morphological, granulometrics, mineralogical and chemical point of soil / lake sediments were also held. The results showed that the landscape of Bonfim region is represented by modeled dissecting represented by: Landings in Structured Crista, Massif Somite Convex, Residual Hills Structured, Hills and Hills Staggerd to Opened Valleys and Opened Dissected Hills, linked to Erosive Plains, Plain Surface and Alluvial Plain along the drainages. The lacustrine environments, significant features in this landscape, occur with predominantly circular and oval morphology and elongated in lower proportion, compounds and dendritic. A lot of them has intermittent regimen example, the Italian Lake in contrast to the perennial system represented by the Bicho Lake. They are densely colonized by aquatic weeds such as sedges which are distributed according to variations of these depths. The sediments / soils are predominantly sandy, with angular grains sub angular. They are composed mainly of quartz and kaolinite secondarily, and goethite and muscovite. The chemical composition highlights high concentrations of SiO2, Fe2O3 and Al2O3, stating the minerals found in these sediments. The lacustrine environments have been subjected to intense anthropic pressure, represented by the disorderly occupation which led to problems such as releases of domestic sewage and solid waste disposal. Therefore, it is necessary attention to the processes that occur in these environments because they contribute to understanding the dynamics of the transformation of the landscape especially when combined with urban sprawl.

Full textAquesta tesi es focalitza en la caracterització taxonòmica, biogeogràfica, paleoecològica i biostratigràfica dels caròfits barremians de la conca del Maestrat (Cadena Ibèrica). Dels 34 taxons identificats, pertanyents a tres famílies que coexistiren durant el Cretaci Inferior (Porocharaceae, Characeae i Clavatoraceae) 26 pertanyen a utricles de clavatoràcies. Aquesta diversitat és única a escala mundial i mostra que el Maestrat fou un punt calent de biodiversitat d’aquesta família. Des del punt de vista morfològic s’ha mostrat que l’utricle d’Echinochara lazarii tenia una simetria bilateral, en comptes de presentar la simetrial triradial descrita originalment pel gènere. A més s’ha pogut reconstruir de la planta sencera d’ i Echinochara gràcies a haver descobert la connexió anatòmica entre Echinochara lazarii i el tal·lus descrit prèviament com Charaxis spicatus. Aquesta planta presentava una corticació desconeguda fins ara, que s’ha anomenat triplòstica doble. S’ha descrit també un nou llinatge evolutiu dins les clavatoràcies, format per dues varietats anagenètiques dins l’espècie de Clavator calcitrapus, que és de gran interès en paleobiogeografia i biostratigrafia. Finalment, la descripció d’una calcificació centrípeta als entrenusos del tal·lus de Munieria (un fòssil que ha estat motiu de controvèrsia respecte a la seva afinitat taxonòmica), dóna suport a la hipòtesi de que pertanyia a una clavatoràcia. L’estudi paleoecològic ha permès distingir diferents associacions de caròfits: 1) L’associació característica de llacs d’aigua dolça amb poca influència clàstica on predominava Atopochara trivolvis var. triquetra, Clavator harrisii, Ascidiella stellata i A. triquetra. 2) Una associació de llacs d’aigua dolça amb molta influència clàstica, dominada per Echinochara lazarii, Globator maillardii var. trochiliscoides, A. trivolvis var. triquetra, C. harrisii, Hemiclavator neimongolensis var. neimongolensis. 3) Porochara maestratica dominava als ambients salabrosos amb poca influència clàstica, mentre que 4) E. lazarii dominava ambients salabrosos amb més influència clàstica. 5) L’associació característica de basses i aiguamolls de fangars i planes d’inundació incloïa E. lazarii, A. trivolvis var. triquetra i C. harrisii. Es revisa la biostratigrafia dels caròfits del Barremià–Aptià inferior amb dues biozonacions, una per l’àmbit de l’Arxipèlag Cretaci de la Tetis (Europa, nord d’Àfrica i Orient mitjà) i una segona d’àmbit eurasiàtic. La primera biozonació està composta per dues biozones, les espècies índex de les quals eren endèmiques de l'arxipèlag: (1) Globator maillardii var. trochiliscoides (Barremià inferior) i (2) Ascidiella cruciata-Pseudoglobator paucibracteatus. La base d’aquesta última s’ha calibrat amb l’escala del temps geològic mitjançant uns valor d’ 87Sr/86Sr de 0,707482 (Barremià inferior terminal) obtinguts en una valva d’ostreid. Aquesta biozona inclou l’interval Barremià inferior terminal–Aptià inferior. La biozonació euroasiàtica conté tres biozones, les espècies índex de les quals estan presents a tota Euràsia. (1) La biozona Atopochara trivolvis var. triquetra té una edat de Barremià inferior. (2) La base de la biozona H. neimongolensis var. neimongolensis fou calibrada amb l’escala del temps geològic mitjançant una mostra d’ostreid que va proporcionar un valor de l’ 87Sr/86Sr de 0,7074781 (Barremià inferior superior). (3) La biozona Clavator grovesii var. jiuquanensis s’ha calibrat calibrat amb l’escala del temps geològic mitjançant una mostra d’ostreid que va proporcionar uns valors d’ 87Sr/86Sr de 0,707489 (Barremià superior inferior). Aquesta nova proposta biostratigràfica es preveu que faciliti la correlació entre les conques del Tetis i entre les conques continentals d’Euràsia.

Full textIn the current context of global change, understanding the interactions between Human/Environment/Climate is necessary to develop adaptive strategies and preserve ecosystems. A retrospective approach is therefore realized in three lacustrine cores to reconstruct the paleo-environmental history during the last five millennia. Lake Igaliku (N61°00’22’’, W45°26’28’’), located at 2km from the medieval episcopal cathedral in the historical farming center, has a sedimentation mainly driven by anthropogenic activities. A complete molecular inventory has been made on this sequence to characterize past agropastoral dynamics and their impacts on south Greenlandic ecosystems. The identified fecal biomarkers revealed two agropastoral phases, during the Norse settlement and recently, separated by the Little Ice Age (LIA) and mainly characterized by sheep breeding. Vegetation molecular biomarkers (n-alkanes, triterpenyl acetates) and palynological data showed a reduction of trees and shrubs cover during these two periods especially. Erosion biomarkers (TTHCs) and sedimentological data identified only one drastic erosion in the 1980s synchronous with the mechanized creation of fodder parcels. Moreover, an eutrophication of the lake waters was recorded with short chain length n-alkanes and mesotrophic diatoms. Lake Qallimiut (N60°43’27’’, W45°23’12’’) and Little Kangerluluup (N60°38’32’’, W45°38’11’’), less impacted by anthropogenic activities, are fed by major streams influenced by hydrological variations. Their sedimentation is therefore mainly driven by climate changes. To improve the temporal and spatial resolution of climate changes during the Holocene, a multi-proxy sedimentological study was made on these two sites. Petrophysical, mineralogical and geochemical analyses have identified flood events especially occurring during cooler and wetter periods such as the Middle to Late Holocene transition (ca. 2500 BC), the Sub-boreal/Sub-atlantic transition (ca. 700 BC) and the LIA (between ca. AD 1300 et ca. AD 1900). These climate pejorations have impacted local human societies. For example, during the LIA, a maximum of flood events and drop of temperatures are recorded, partly responsible of the Norse demise

Full textUranium scavenging in soils and sediments located downstream from former U mines is expected to naturally limit uranium dispersion in downstream waterways. However, uranium mobility in such contaminated sites may depend on the identity of U traps as well as the geochemical conditions. The aim of this thesis was to improve our knowledge on the geochemical behavior and the mobility of uranium in U contaminated lacustrine sediments and wetland soils, whose reducing conditions is expected to mitigate uranium mobility because U(IV) species are less soluble than U(VI) ones. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyzes combined with geochemical analyzes were carried out. In U contaminated lake sediments, we show that indirect reduction of U(VI) by Fe(II) associated to clay minerals may be a major diagenetic process responsible for the scavenging of uranium. For organic-rich weltand soils, we show a sharp uranium redox boundary mainly controlled by the water-table. For both sites, U(IV) mononuclear species and U(IV)-phosphate minerals were identified as the major species controlling uranium solubility, while uraninite is virtually absent. For the highly U-contaminated wetland soil, we suggest a major uranium redistribution via the oxidative dissolution of U(IV)-minerals followed by U(VI) organic matter complexation. Soil incubation experiments have confirmed these redistribution mechanisms and suggest different geochemical behaviors for lermontovite (U(PO4)(OH)•H2O) and ningyoite (CaU(PO4)2•2H2O). These experiments also highlight the role of organic matter in the control of uranium mobility, favoring the remobilization of U(IV) organic complexes under reducing conditions. Altogether, our results call for the need to consider both non-uraninite U(IV) minerals and mononuclear U(IV) complexes in such anoxic environments as major species controlling uranium solubility

Full textStromatolites are laminated organo-sedimentary rocks composed of Ca and/or Mg carbonates but also Mg-silicates in some cases. The processes involved in their formation are still poorly understood. The main goal of this thesis was to better understand the geochemical and geomicrobiological processes that favor the formation or dissolution of carbonates and Mg-silicates in Mexican alkaline lacustrine environments. Two main axes have been developed. The first axis focused on the study of 52 cyanobacterial strains, some forming ACC intracellular, others not forming ACC. The strains were analyzed for their ability to incorporate Ca. The impact of alkaline earth elements on the growth of some of the strains was determined. In this study we have shown that ACC+ cyanobacterial strains incorporate more Ca than others and they store this Ca strongly in ACC and in polyP. In addition, we determined that ACC+ strains need more Ca for their growth and some of them are capable to substitute Ca by Sr and Ba for this purpose. We propose that ACC inclusions 1) can serve as ballasts, 2) can buffer intracellular pH and balance the formation of HCO3 conversion hydroxide to CO2 during carbon fixation and 3) available inorganic carbon storage for carbon dioxide. In addition, polyP could be involved in Ca storage. More broadly, ACC+ cyanobacteria have contributed to the dissolution of calcium carbonate and by extension stromatolites. The second axis focused on the study of Mg-silicate formation in sediments and mesocosms of 3 Mexican alkaline lakes but also in laboratory experiments. Mineralogical and chemical analyzes of magnesium silicates have been coupled with geochemical characterization of the solutions. The study of sediments showed the formation of an Al-low and an Al-rich stevensite-like phase and of ferrous or non-ferrous saponite-like. Several interpretations have been proposed regarding their formation: 1) dissolution of hydromagnesite and biogenic silica frustules, 2) it is inherited from the water column, 3) it is related to the alteration of feldspaths within sediments and 4) biomineralization in the water column. It has also been shown that a cyanobacterial strain was able to induce precipitation of magnesium silicates in an unbuffered medium. Mg-silicate formation in mesocosms from alkaline lakes is thought to be directly related to the mineralogical composition of microbialites, and possibly diatoms that allow Si to be introduced into the solution and locally into the biofilm and is biologically influenced by microbial community EPS

Full textNeste trabalho foi realizado o fracionamento do fósforo em sedimentos do Reservatório Macela, localizado na cidade de Itabaiana, Sergipe, Brasil. Foram tomados dois testemunhos com profundidade de aproximadamente 30 cm cada, que foram seccionados de 5 cm em 5 cm. O método analítico utilizado foi o Protocolo desenvolvido pelo Standards, Measurements and Testing (SMT), que fracionou o fósforo nos sedimentos em total (PT), inorgânico (PI), orgânico (PO), não apatita (PNAP) e apatita (PAP). A validação da metodologia foi verificada através dos valores de limite de detecção (LD) e de limite de quantificação (LQ) para PT, PI, PO, PNAP e PAP, onde se observou que não houve contaminação significativa. A exatidão do método foi conferida através dos valores de concordância variando 99 a 101% e o desvio padrão relativo (RSD) foi melhor que 2%. A concentração de P variaram entre 441,60 e 1335,47 µg g-1 para PT, entre 409,54 e 1209,86 µg g-1 para PI e entre 21,35 e 195,87 µg g-1 para Po. Para as formas inorgânicas o valor das concentrações de PNAP variou de 106,82 e 541,09 µg g-1 e de PAP variou de 238,56 a 698,01 µg g-1. As concentrações das frações de fósforo nos sedimentos analisados foram maiores no testemunho II. Os conteúdos de Fe, Al, Ca e Corg variaram de 3,45 a 4,95 %, de 4,85 a 7,73 %, de 1,02 a 1,89 % e de 1,88 a 8,55 %. A matriz de correlação de Sperman identificou o ferro e o alumínio como os fatores controladores mais importantes dos P nos sedimentos analisados. A análise de componentes principais (PCA) e analise de agrupamento hierárquico (HCA), aplicada aos parâmetros medidos, dividiu as amostras de sedimentos em dois grupos, de acordo com suas similaridades. Esta tendência foi confirmada pela análise de variância (ANOVA, p< 0,05).

Full textPersistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are compounds that are highly toxic to living organisms, persistent in the environment, undergo long distance transport and accumulate in organic-rich phases (sediments and fatty tissues). Given the vulnerability of aquatic ecosystems to pollution and scarcity of data on POPs in Africa and, this thesis examines the level of Organochlorinated Pesticides (OCPs), Polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) and Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Lake Barombi Watershed (LBW) and Wouri Estuary Mangrove (WEM) in Cameroon. In LBW, OCPs detected were endosulfan, hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs), dieldrin and aldrin. No OCPs were detected in water and the most frequently detected were HCHs with higher levels in soil than sediments (stream and lake). The α/γ-HCH ratio indicated recent use of lindane. The presence of OCPs is attributed to agriculture and fishing. PAH levels were higher in lake sediments than other samples. Pyrolytic sources of PAHs were predominant specifically combustion of grass, wood or coal. Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs) indicated low ecological risks to aquatic life. In the WEM, PAHs levels in sediments were more abundant than Chlorinated Pesticides (CLPs) and PCBs. The most abundant CLPs were endosulfan, alachlor, heptachlor, lindane (γ-HCH) and DDT for which metabolites pattern revealed recent use. PAHs ratios showed a predominant pyrolytic input. The presence of POPs in the WEM is mainly attributed to disease vector control (malaria), municipal waste dumps, industrial emissions and effluents, open burning of wastes, petroleum exploitation and harbour activities. SQGs implied low to moderate predictive biological toxicity

Full textAkinetes are resistant cells produced by cyanocteria of the Nostocales Order. Originating from the differentiation of vegetative cells, Akinetes are able to persist in surface sediment duringg winter and then germinate in spring to recolonize the water column. Monitoring on pelagic and benthic populations performed during two years in lake Aydat has shown that the akinetes present in surface sediments are representative of diversity and abundances of past nostocalean proliferations. Akinetes capacity to persist in sediment at large time scales has allowed to highlight cyanobacterial presence since several thousand years. Recurrences of akinetes in sediment from 6 700 years to present day presume that the trophic level stayed high through the history of this lake. In parallel, the toxic potential of akinetes, studied with the detection of anaC and mcyA genes, has shown the co-occurrence of anatoxin-a and microcystins the since first cyanobacterial blooms, 6 700 years ago and the recurrence of anaC associated to Dolichospermum macrosporum since at least the last 30 years. On the other hand, high differences of intact akinete percentages have been observed depending on the species, with mean values of 5 and 60 % for D. macrosporum and D. flos-aquae (the two dominant species) respectively. This varibiliy may be the reflect of ecologic interactions which occurred in the water column and may be due to different ecological strategies. Moreover, ability and time of germination seem to be dependent, which may allow to extend the window of recruitment depending on environmental conditions. Despite a high loss of viability over time, some akinetes buried since 1 800 years in sediments have shown their ability to germinate, confirming the importance of these resistant cells in the long scale perpetuation of nostocalean blooms

Full textWithin the context of increasing demographic pressures and hazards related to climate change, the problems posed by landscape erosion have become particularly crucial. The current management of Mediterranean mountain environments, which are highly exposed to erosion hazards, needs to be supported by a thorough understanding of their susceptibility to these hazards and their long-term trajectories.A retrospective analysis of environmental trajectories has been conducted from the study of three lacustrine sedimentary archives in the Southern Alps (Lakes Petit, Vens and Allos). This multi-disciplinary study, based on sedimentology, geochemistry and palynology, has enabled characterization of the dynamics of erosion and changes in plant cover over the last 14,000 years.In Lakes Allos and Vens, the start of the Holocene is marked by the maturing of ecosystems, by chemical weathering of soils and by forest encroachment at higher altitudes. These environmental changes resulted in progressive ecosystem stabilization, followed by a bio-pedological optimum, and subsequently by more open landscapes, and then soil destabilization. These four successive phases have ben dated, respectively, at 12,000-8000 cal. BP, 8000-6000 cal. BP, 6000-1900 cal. BP, and 1900 cal. BP to Present. The last of these phases occurred earlier, at 4200 cal. BP, in Lake Petit.The triggering of soil erosion has systematically been hinged on periods of heavy precipitation affecting landscapes rendered vulnerable, by human societies, to the effects of such perturbations

Through multi-proxies analyses performed within the lake - catchment continuum, results highlight: (1) sedimentary events related to various forms of natural hazards (earthquakes, debris flow and limnic eruptions) and (2) a background sedimentation related to Holocene climatic fluctuations and human activities during the Late Holocene. For the last 700 years, the reconstruction of soil erosion rates underlines a large disparity between studied sites, mainly connected to site effects and the intensity of human impact at local scale. The limnogeologic study of reservoirs shows similar sedimentary processes than in natural lakes, but highlights a wide range of sedimentary architectures related to the impoundment geometry and the reservoir management

Full textCon el objeto de reconstruir la evolución paleoambiental durante el Holoceno, se ha efectuado un estudio paleolimnológico y sedimentológico del registro sedimentario del Lago de Sanabria en muy alta resolución. Para ello, han sido obtenidos varios testigos sedimentarios en el lago (4 testigos mediante la técnica del "piston coring", y 2 testigos mediante la técnica del "gravity coring").
Los testigos sedimentarios han sido correlacionados mediante datación radiométrica (C-14, Pb-210 y Cs-137), así como mediante los criterios aportados por los parámetros descriptivos. Los parámetros utilizados en la reconstrucción paleoambiental han sido:
- Contenido en agua
- LOI (Loss on ignition)
- TOC (Total Organic Carbon) y TN (Total Nitrogen)
- Granulometría
- Mineralogía
- Geoquímica
- Contenido en Diatomeas
- Contenido en Polen
- Lámina Delgada y SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)
Considerados en conjunto, estos parámetros indican que el LOI constituye un buen parámetro descriptivo para obtener una reconstrucción paleoambiental en el Lago de Sanabria.
El carácter cristalino de su cuenca hidrográfica (rocas plutónicas y metamórficas) determina la ausencia de Carbono inorgánico en el sistema sedimentario, tal como confirma la significativa correlación entre los valores del TOC y del LOI.
Los valores de delta[elevat a 13]C (entre -26 o/oo y -28 o/oo) indican que la materia orgánica del sedimento es de origen alóctono (plantas terrestres). La cantidad de materia orgánica está determinada por el régimen de precipitaciones de la región, dado que esta materia orgánica entra en el sistema lacustre por escorrentía.
Conclusiones:
1)El registro sedimentario del Lago de Sanabria es altamente sensible a las variaciones medioambientales. El lago se comporta como un sensor de las variaciones acontecidas tanto a escala regional (clima de la región del Atlántico Norte) como a escala local (fenómenos catastróficos acontecidos en su cuenca hidrográfica).
2)El Loss on ignition (LOI) representa el contenido en materia orgánica en el sistema sedimentario del lago, constituyendo un indicador paleoambiental. El LOI reúne las siguientes características metodológicas: a) es económico; b) es rápido, y c) es fiable.
3)El análisis de la señal del LOI (mediante análisis de Fourier, análisis Wavelet, y densidad espectral) ha evidenciado la existencia de ciclos en el contenido de materia orgánica del sedimento. Los ciclos más destacables han sido: un ciclo de 1.500 años, un ciclo de 456 años, y un ciclo de 300-311 años.
4)El registro sedimentario es sensible a importantes cambios medioambientales: a) al ciclo climático de 1.500 años ampliamente detectado en la región del Atlántico Norte (eventos Dansgard/Oeschenger), b) a la tendencia de enfriamiento general característica de un ciclo de Bond, c) detecta con detalle el periodo climático Medieval Warm Period - Little Ice Age (MWP-LIA), d) a ciclos climáticos de mayor frecuencia (ciclos de 300-311 años y 456 años), e) al ciclo solar de Gleissberg, f) a los mínimos solares, g) a avenidas torrenciales acontecidas en su cuenca hidrográfica (flash floods).
5)La significativa correlación entre el contenido en materia orgánica del sedimento y el registro de C-14 atmosférico sugiere que las oscilaciones del contenido en materia orgánica están moduladas por la actividad solar.
6)La existencia del ciclo climático de 1.500 años, así como la de ciclos de más alta frecuencia (300-311 años y 456 años), podría suponer la futura implantación de condiciones climáticas frías hacia el 2.100-2.150 AD (300 años después de la Pequeña Edad de Hielo). Estas oscilaciones climáticas sugieren que el calentamiento actual de la Tierra no está siendo determinado únicamente por la acción del Hombre, sino que también está actuando una tendencia climática natural ya existente.

Full textThe Fluvio-lacustrine Formation located in the southern part of the 'Grande-Terre' is confined to small intramontaneous basins which possess a complex geometry. This formation with a maximal thickness of 70m has a distinctive feature which is that it reworks weathering products formed upon peridotites and gabbros (iron-rich laterites, kaolinitic clays).Unlike its name suggests, most of the sedimentary infill occurs in fluvial conditions and often starts with a very coarse torrential conglomerate. The only known occurrences of lacustrine sediments are restricted to actual lakes and dolines. Due to the lobbed shape of some basins and the numerous dolines developed upon the infill, these basins were previously interpreted as 'poljes' resulting from the coalescence of dolines (Trescases, 1975). However, the ante fluvio-lacustrine sediments topography revealed by drillings highlight old valley established by a hydrographic network similar to the actual network, controlled by straight faults. ln most basins (Pernod, Netcha, Plaine des Lacs, K04), sediments from the Fluvio-lacustrine Formation lay directly on in situ weathering formation, which means they have not been much eroded, unlike the north-western part of the island. The lack of well-defined outlets imply a partially endoreic evolution of these basins. Concerning the Rivière des Pirogues basin and the Yaté basin, sediments are limited to the north east by the uplifted block of Unia-Goro which played the role of a dam allowing the accumulation of sediments. Sediments from the Fluvio-lacustrine Formation are constrained by Koum-Yaté-Goro and Koum-Col de Plum fault zone and located at the vertical of a positive gravimetric anomaly. The later, interpreted as a thickening of the Peridotite Nappe could aIso result from a crustal thinning which caused an ascent of the mantle below. Topographic depression created by this process could have favour the accumulation and later preservation of sediments

Full textThe verification of the existence of heavy metals in the lacustrine sediments of the Parque Ecológico do Tietê - Centro de lazer Engenheiro Goulart (PET), their horizontal distribution and the identification of their probable sources constitute this dissertation objective, as well as to evaluate the physical, physicochemical and chemical parameters that could make them available in way to commit the environment quality. The sediments samples collected were divided in two sub-samples, top and bottom and submitted to chemical analysis with the objective of the detection of the metals cooper, chrome, nickel, zinc, iron, aluminum and manganese total concentration. The water interface total chemistries analyses contributed to the best understanding of the probable dynamics that resulted in different metals quantities in the sediments. The certain physical-chemical parameters in the work field, either for the top and bottom sediments as for the water interface (Eh, pH, electric conductivity, temperature and dissolved oxygen) were fundamental for the interpretation of those lacustrine dynamics. The particles in suspension were examined in electronic microscope (MEV) coupled with the Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS). Grain sizes analyses were realized for the percentile of the finest fractions (silt and clay) of the sediments determination, as well as the organic matter content. Both exhibit high capacity of adsorption of metals. Those samples were also submitted to the mineral content analysis by X-ray difratometry (DRX). The sediments characterization as highly reducers and slightly acids environments also indicated that the sulfides of those metals are part of the balance among the chemical forms that constitute these environments. The obtained results received mathematical and geostatistics treatments to aid in the understanding of the metals behavior and the similarity with which other. The Pearson correlation factor was one of the most important instruments used and it allowed verifying the great correlation that there is among the iron, copper, zinc, match and organic matter and at the same time between those metals and the sediments humidity content. The metals enrichment factor calculation in the sediments included their concentrations using the Al2O3 percent, seeking to minimize the effects of the grain and the mineralogical sediment differences. That factor allowed verifying the enrichment of the top sediments regarding the bottom, in both collections, and that only part of these metals in the top of the 2nd collection in relation to 1st. Some of the closer collection stations to the river Tietê water entrance presented the top sediments more enriched than others. The geoestatistic program SURFER allowed a clear visualization of the concentration isolines distribution. Through the colors intensity used in the isoteores maps we can easily verify the areas with larger concentrations associated to the strongest shades, located on NW and SE of the lake. Those maps also aided in the identification of probable sources of dispersion of the metals, like sewage emissions on lake and Tietê river water. The interaction between the biota and the heavy metals was verified through the observation of the particles in suspension with the aid of the electronic microscope. Punctual qualitative chemical analyses accomplished in that material indicated the presence of those metals in the internal structures of some copies of the phytoplankton.

Resumo: É sabido que grande parte da produção primária global ocorre nos oceanos, e que um problema fundamental é entender como os organismos usam este carbono e quais são os padrões das variações espaço-temporais do carbono e do fluxo de energia. Deste modo, o interesse no ciclo do carbono vem aumentando nos últimos anos devido ao aumento recente de problemas mundiais, tais como mudanças climáticas e antropização de zonas costeiras. A alça microbiana conduz energia e carbono por meio das bactérias, para os níveis tróficos superiores, além de promover a assimilação de elementos inorgânicos biologicamente importantes, como nitrogênio e fósforo, em matéria orgânica na coluna d'água, elementos estes que são de extrema importância biológica. O presente estudo teve por objetivo estudar a estrutura e o funcionamento da alça microbiana nos sedimentos da Baía do Araça, quantificar seus elementos, verificar as flutuações nas densidades e correlacionar com outros fatores analisados, tais como contaminantes metálicos, matéria orgânica e hidrocarbonetos. Foram coletadas amostras de sedimento em 37 pontos, divididos em duas regiões (entremarés e sublitoral), durante o período de um ano. As amostras foram analisadas quanto a granulometria, conteúdo de matéria orgânica, carbonos orgânicos totais, hidrocarbonetos, além da análise dos componentes microbiológicos. Foi observado que as maiores densidades de microrganismos foram observadas na região do sublitoral. Houve uma correlação negativa entre as densidades de bactérias heterotróficas e nano flagelados, podendo indicar bacterivoria. As variações de matéria orgânica ao longo do estudo afetaram diretamente as populações de bactérias heterotróficas
Abstract: It is known that great part of the global primary occurs in the oceans, and a problem is to understand how the organisms use this carbon, what are the patterns of the spatial-temporal variations of carbon and of the energy flow. Thus, the interest in the carbon cycle is increasig in recent years due to the increase of global problems, such as climate change and the increase of population in coastal areas. The microbial loop leads energy and carbon, by bacteria, to the other trophic levels, and it also promotes the assimilation of inorganic elements biologically relevants, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, in organic matter in the water column, which are extremely biologically importants. This study aims to analyze the structure and the functioning of the microbial loop, quantifying its elements, check the densities variations and correlate with other analyzed factors, such as metal contaminants, organic matter and hydrocarbons. Sediment samples were collected at 37 points, divided into two regions (intertidal and subcoastal), during the period of one year. The samples were processed for granulometric analyzis, organic matter, total organic carbons, hydrocarbons, and microbiological components. It was observed that the highest densities of microrganisms were at the subcoastal region. There was a negative correlation between the densities of heterotrophic bacteria and nanoflagellates, which may indicate bacterivory. Variations of organic matter throughout the study directly affected the heterotrophic bacteria populations

As lagunas de Santa Marta e do Camacho & Garopaba do Sul encontram-se localizadas no litoral sul do Estado de Santa Catarina, entre os municípios de Laguna, Jaguaruna e Tubarão e apresentam potencial para o desenvolvimento de atividades ligadas à pesca artesanal, rizicultura, maricultura, extração de conchas, turismo e expansão imobiliária. O objetivo central deste trabalho é caracterizar o substrato destas lagunas com o objetivo de identificar setores com padrões sedimentológicos diferenciados. Para isso foram coletadas 5 amostras de sedimentos superficiais na laguna de Santa Marta e 11 em Camacho & Garopaba do Sul. Neste conjunto de 16 amostras foram realizadas analises granulométricas, quantificação da matéria orgânica total, do carbonato biodetrítico total, dos nitrogenados inorgânicos dissolvidos, dos fosfatos dissolvidos e da sílica dissolvida. Foi realizado também um estudo da distribuição de foraminíferos bentônicos e de tecamebas indicadores do balanço fluvio-marinho dentro da área. Estudos morfométricos, como área, volume, perímetro, comprimentos e larguras máximas, profundidade média e máxima e pista de vento foram quantificados para auxiliar nas interpretações sedimentológicas. A integração dos dados foi realizada através de técnicas estatísticas univariadas (correlações) e multivariadas (analise de agrupamento e componentes principais). Baseado nos parâmetros biogeoquimicos e morfométricos foi possível identificar na laguna de Santa Marta dois setores distintos sedimentologicamente # setor 1 e 2 # sendo que o ponto amostral denominado como C6 localizado no sul da laguna de Garopaba do Sul apresentou características semelhantes ao setor 2 e por isso foi agrupado a este. Na laguna de Camacho & Garopaba do Sul foram identificados mais dois setores distintos, os setores 3 e 4. Estes encontram-se dispostos ao longo de um gradiente longitudinal ao eixo lagunar principal, individualizando sedimentologicamente o segmento do Camacho do segmento de Garopaba do Sul. A distribuição destes setores parece estar relacionada com as condições fisiograficas locais e com os agentes hidrodinâmicos atuantes na área, sobretudo a ação eólica.

This research project evaluated the changes in the fluxes of nutrients and metals at the sediment-water interface as a result of sediment treatment by the additions of PhoslockTM and calcium nitrate solution. The experiments were executed in situ using mesocosms that were assembled in the Ibirité Reservoir (MG). The calcium nitrate addition experiments showed nutrients flux abatement for Porthophosphate, ammoniacal-N and nitrate-N that were ≥ 90% whilst for the metals Fe and Mn the percentages reached 48 and 69%, respectively, as a result of sediment oxidation promoted by the intensification of denitrification rates. For the PhoslockTM addition the percentages of reduction in the fluxes across sediment-water interface was over 90% for P-orthophosphate and ammoniacal-N, 78% for nitrate-N and for the metals, Fe and Mn, 47 and 50%, respectively, as a result of the increased adsorption capacity of sediments due an excess of adsorbent material left on sediment surface.

Os experimentos foram realizados in situ, com montagem de mesocosmos na citada represa. Os resultados referentes ao tratamento com injeção de nitrato de cálcio mostraram, em função da oxidação dos sedimentos promovida por esta tecnologia, um abatimento dos fluxos de nutrientes (P-ortofosfato, N-amoniacal, N-nitrato) iguais ou superiores a 90%, enquanto que para os metais Fe e Mn, as porcentagens de abatimento de fluxo alcançaram 48 e 69%, respectivamente. Para o tratamento dos sedimentos com a adição de PhoslockTM, devido ao aumento da capacidade de adsorção dos sedimentos promovida pelo excesso de material adsorvente depositado na superfície dos mesmos, as porcentagens de redução dos fluxos sedimento-água foram superiores a 90% para o P-ortofosfato e N-amoniacal, 78% para o N-nitrato, e para os metais (Fe e Mn), 47 e 50%, respectivamente.

A Bacia do Recôncavo consiste em um rifte intracontinental com forma de meiográben, composto por uma fase pré-rifte, rifte e pós-rifte. Os conceitos de estratigrafia de sequencias aplicada à bacias do tipo rifte foi utilizado na análise da fase rifte, onde foram identificados três tratos tectônicos, sendo eles o “trato tectônico de início de rifte”, “desenvolvimento de rifte” e “final de rifte”. Os depósitos lacustres desta bacia encontram-se predominantemente no “trato tectônico de desenvolvimento de rifte” e são compostos por lamitos lacustres e fluxos gravitacionais, focos deste estudo. Através de descrição de afloramentos foram identificadas 13 fácies sedimentares, provenientes de processos de correntes de turbidez, fluxos laminares coesivos e não coesivos e decantação. Essas fácies foram organizadas em quatro Associações de Fácies, sendo elas: (I) Slides – corpos pouco deformados por deslizamento de frentes deltaicas e depósitos foreshore/shoreface; (II) Debritos Arenosos – corpos altamente deformados por escorregamentos e descargas deltaicas com concentrações de sedimento maior que 20% do volume; (III) Turbiditos – correntes de turbidez provenientes da diminuição da concentração dos debritos arenosos ou por turbiditos do tipo “quasy-steady” e; (IV) Background Lacustre – sedimentação lacustre por decantação ou por correntes de turbidez dos tipos “surge” e “surge-like”. Os padrões observados nos perfis de raios gama dos afloramentos foram correlacionados com os perfis de 31 poços, originando mapas estratigráficos de distribuição das Associações de Fácies através de três subfases do “trato tectônico de desenvolvimento de rifte” e da parte basal do “trato tectônico de final de rifte”. A identificação da “superfície de início de desenvolvimento de rifte” e a “superfície de máximo rifteamento”, que limitam o trato de desenvolvimento na base e no topo, respectivamente, indicou que a espessura deste trato aumenta no sentido SE e NE da área de estudo. O comportamento das estruturas, superfícies e espessuras identificadas nos poços foram corroborados através dos mapas provenientes das interpretações sísmicas, que se mostraram complementares nas interpretações devido a regiões sem dados de poços ou sem linhas sísmicas. A partir dos mapas estratigráficos foi identificada uma fase inicial com um lago restrito à região leste da área estudada e onde ocorreram as maiores taxas de subsidência durante o início do desenvolvimento do rifte. Em seguida ocorre a expansão do lago, com a maior distribuição e espessuras dos fluxos gravitacionais de sedimentos e padrão retrogradacional dos lamitos lacustres. Já na fase final ocorre a diminuição do volume dos fluxos gravitacionais devido ao distanciamento das áreas fontes e o máximo de expansão do sistema lacustre, o qual é preenchido posteriormente pelos depósitos do “trato de final de rifte”. O aporte sedimentar tem fonte a norte-noroeste, nordeste e secundariamente leste, tendo a atividade tectônica, o excesso de sedimentos das frentes deltaicas e descargas fluviais de tempestades como principal “gatilho” para os fluxos. Os depósitos turbidíticos ocorreram constantemente durante todos os estágios lacustres, evidenciando que esses não estão relacionados somente a depósitos distais, podendo ocorrer em regiões proximais onde a concentração de sedimento por volume é baixa o suficiente para gerar turbulência no fluxo, menor que 20%.
ABSTRACT - The Reconcavo Basin consists of a intracontinental rift shaped as a half-graben, consisting of a pre-rift, rift and post-rift stages. The concepts of sequences stratigrapy applied to rift basins was used in the analysis of the rift phase, where three tectonic tracts were identified, the "tectonic tract of rift initiation", "rift development" and " rift final". The lacustrine deposits of this basin are predominantly at the "tectonic tract of rift development" and consist of lacustrine mudstones and sediment gravitational flows, focuses of this study. Through outcrops Description 13 sedimentary facies were identified, from turbidity currents processes, cohesive and non-cohesive laminar flow and suspension fallout. These facies were organized into four facies associations, namely: (I) Slides - bodies low grade deformed by sliding of deltaic fronts deposits and foreshore / shoreface; (II) Sandy Debrites - highly deformed by slip bodies and deltaic sediment discharges with concentrations greater than 20% by volume; (III) turbidites - turbidity currents from decreased concentration of sandy debritess or turbidites of type "quasy-steady" and; (IV) Lacustrine Background - lacustrine sediment by suspension fallout or by "surge" and "surge-like" turbidity currents. The patterns observed in the gamma ray logs from the outcrops were correlated to 31 well logs, resulting in stratigraphic maps of distribution of facies associations through three sub-phases of the "tectonic tract of rift development" and the basal part of the "tectonic tract end of the rift". The identification of the "surface of rift initiation development" and "surface maximum rifting" that limit the development tectonic tract at the base and top, respectively, indicated that the thickness of this tract increases to SE and NE direction at the study area. The behavior of structures, surfaces and thicknesses identified in the wells were corroborated by the maps from seismic interpretations, which proved complementary interpretations due to regions without well data or without seismic lines. From the stratigraphic maps an initial phase was identified with a small lake in the eastern region of the study area occurred and where the highest rates of subsidence during the early development of the rift. Then the lake expansion occurs, with the larger distribution and thicknesses of gravitational flows retrogradational pattern of lake sediments and mudstone. In the final stage is decreasing volume flow due to the gravitational distance of the source areas and the maximum expansion of the lake system, which is filled by deposits of the "tectonic tract od rift final." The sand supply source has the north-northwest, northeast and east secondarily, with the tectonic activity, excess sediments of deltaic fronts and river discharges storms as the main "trigger" for the flows. The turbidites deposits occurred continuously during all stages lake, showing that these are not only related to distal deposits can occur in proximal regions where the volume of sediment concentration is low enough to generate turbulence in the flow, less than 20%.

Full textOne sediment core collected at the margins of a lake surrounded by Atlantic rainforest vegetation at Parque Estadual do Alto Ribeira (PETAR), southern São Paulo state (Brazil), was analyzed, in order to reconstruct the history of the local vegetation over the last 2500 years. Elemental (Total Organic Carbon TOC and Total Organic Nitrogen), isotopic (C and N), pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating were integrated on this work. Also was made a comparison of two protocols for Quaternary pollen chemical treatment. The tested protocols were proposed by Faegri and Iversen, 1989 (Protocol 2) and by Colinvaux et al., 1999 (Protocol 1). The comparison methods developed in this study checked the protocols performance on the quantity of palinomorphs and of organic matter found in 450 random areas of microscope slides of each protocol. The time consuming, laboratory routine, costs and residue production by the protocols were considered for comparison. Five samples were used for comparison and the Protocol 1 showed an average of 10% less organic matter and more palinomorphs than Protocol 2. According to the isotopic and pollen results, the study area vegetation maintained as a forest for the last 2500 years BP. \'delta\'13C values of -29%o indicated the presence of C3 plants during all the sediment study and a isotopic enrichment (- 24,9%o) was observed between 1650 and 1480 yrs BP. Pollen analysis suggested the occurrence of colder climatic conditions between 2550 and 2000 yrs BP and a warmer and humid period was suggested between 1000 and 680 yrs BP. Charcoal particles were found since 2550 yrs BP indicating paleofire probably associated to the human activities

Full textThe littoral zone of lakes is of great ecological importance and yet receives a large array of contaminants from the watershed. This pollution is mainly trapped by the surface sediment, but its bioavailability may be allowed by physico-chemical and biological reactions in this zone of high environmental fluctuations. This work aims at improving knowledge about the behavior of sediment-borne contaminants (trace metals, PAHs and PCBs) in the lake littoral zone by using two large perialpine lakes; Lake Bourget and Lake Annecy. More precisely, our goals were to (1) characterize the littoral contamination and the influence of local sources in this contamination, (2) assess the ecotoxicity of the sediment-borne contamination and the main changes in its mobility and bioavailability under abiotic changes in the littoral zone, such as those related to water-level fluctuations in lakes. The contamination of the sediments and native organisms exhibited a significant spatial heterogeneity along the lake littoral, in both intensity and profile’s composition. The involvement of local sources of contamination (e.g. stormwater runoff) as drivers of this spatial heterogeneity has been highlighted. The ecotoxicity of littoral sediments was assessed through the responses of enzymatic biomarkers (AChE and GST), physiological traits (e.g. ingestion rates in D. magna) and life-history traits (e.g. growth, reproduction and survival rates). Our results also underscored a significant spatial heterogeneity of the littoral sediment ecotoxicity. A greater focus on the bioavailability of trace metals at the sediment-water-biota interfaces showed that bioavailability depends on the metal, the exposed biota (benthic vs pelagic) and fluctuate under water-level fluctuations. Drought and re-immersion of surface sediments were followed with a reduction of the bioavailable fractions of the trace metals. However, decreases in the water-level led to increase suspended sediments in the water column, which may exert an ecotoxicological risk for the littoral biota. Our results underline how complex the littoral contamination and bioavailability are and promote ecotoxicological approaches in the assessment of the ecological status of large lakes

Resumo: A Bacia de Salta localiza-se no noroeste argentino e sua origem está relacionada a um rifte intracontinental, formado durante o Cretáceo e início do Paleógeno. Subdivide-se em quatro sub-bacias (Lomas de Olmedo a leste; Sey a oeste; Tres Cruces a norte; e Metán-Alemania a sul) que foram preenchidas por sedimentos das supersequências Pirgua (fase sin-rifte) e Balbuena (fase sag). A seção sedimentar que compõe a fase sag é dividida em quatro sequências: Balbuena I, II, III e IV, da base para o topo. O presente estudo aborda a caracterização faciológica e estratigráfica com base em afloramentos da Sequência Balbuena III (Maastrichtiano/Daniano) da Fm. Yacoraite, na Sub-bacia Metán-Alemania, região do dique Cabra Corral, distrito de Coronel Moldes, Argentina. Os dados foram obtidos no levantamento de 14 seções estratigráficas verticais na escala 1:40, nas quais foram adquiridos perfis de raios gama espectral e realizada coleta de amostras para análises sedimentológicas. A análise faciológica revelou que a Sequência Balbuena III é composta por fácies carbonáticas, siliciclásticas e mistas, depositadas em ambiente lacustre. As fácies carbonáticas são constituídas por grainstones oolíticos e/ou bioclásticos, packstones oolíticos e/ou bioclásticos, rudstones e floastones bioclásticos, mudstones, laminitos e estromatólitos. As fácies siliciclásticas correspondem a arenitos muito finos ondulados, siltitos e lamitos. As litofácies de deposição mista (com componentes siliciclásticos e carbonáticos) são constituídas por arenitos híbridos e margas. As litofácies identificadas foram agrupadas em quatro associações de fácies, que a partir das observações de campo, resultaram em duas sucessões verticais ideais de fácies (sequências elementares). Tais sucessões foram hierarquizadas em sequências de média e alta frequências e puderam ser rastreadas por dezenas de quilômetros na bacia. A partir do...
Abstract: The Salta Basin is located in the northwest of Argentina and its origin is related to an intracontinental rift which was formed during the Cretaceous and early Paleogene. It is subdivided into four sub-basins (Lomas de Olmedo - east; Sey - west; Tres Cruces - north; and Metán-Alemania - south) that were filled by sediments from the Pirgua (synrift phase) and Balbuena (sag phase) supersequences. The sedimentary section that forms the sag phase is divided into four sequences: Balbuena I, II, III and IV, from bottom to top. This research covers the sedimentological and stratigraphical outcrops characterization of the Balbuena III Sequence (Maastrichtian/Danian) from Yacoraite Fm., in the Metán-Alemania sub-basin, Cabra Corral dam region, district of Coronel Moldes, Argentina. The data have been collected from the survey of 14 vertical stratigraphic sections measured in these outcrops at a 1:40 scale, where spectral gamma-ray logs have been acquired and samples for sedimentological analysis have been collected. Data analysis has shown that Balbuena III Sequence consists of carbonate, siliciclastic and mixed facies which have been deposited in a lacustrine environment. The carbonate facies are formed by oolitic/bioclastic grainstones, oolitic/bioclastic packstones, bioclastic rudstones and floatstones, carbonate mudstones, laminites and stromatolites.The siliciclastic facies correspond to very fine wavy sandstones, siltstones and mudstones.The lithofacies of mixed deposition (with carbonate and siliciclastic components) consist of hybrid sandstones and marls.The identified lithofacies have been grouped into four facies associations, which from field observations, could be grouped into two ideal vertical successions of facies (elementary sequences). The observed cycles have been ranked in sequences of medium and high frequencies and could be traced for tens of kilometers in the basin. From the understanding of the distribution of...

Objective: Investigate the temporal evolution of the supply of trace elements, identifying trends in the historical concentration of the drainage basin of the Upper Paraná River Floodplain. Material and Methods: The corers extracted of the Patos Pond and the Garças Pond were sliced into uniform intervals of 2.2 and 2.0 cm respectively. Later the geochronological analysis was performed by the method radiochemical of isotope 210Pb. The quantification of element Mercury was performed with the equipment LUMEX. While the others trace elements were quantified by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, opening following the Method USEPA 3050B. Results: The sedimentation rate of the Garças Pond is 7.7 mm year-1 (2.66 kg m-2 year-1) and of the Patos Pond is 6.0 mm year-1 (1.94 kg m-2 year-1). Conclusion: The sediments of the Patos Pond and the Garças Pond have concentrations of trace elements similar to the background. The main factor that regulates the supply of trace elements in the Upper Paraná River Floodplain is the flood pulses, which can be magnified by the El Niño phenomenon. The burning of cane sugar, increased agriculture, urbanization and release of effluents from steel mills contributed to the increase in the concentration of some trace elements. While the adsorption by macrophytes and process oligotrophication caused by damss upstream of the floodplain, resulted in the reduction of the concentration of other elements
Objetivo: Investigar a evolução temporal do fornecimento de elementos-traço, identificando tendências na concentração histórica da bacia de drenagem da Planície Aluvial do Alto Rio Paraná. Material e Método: Os corers extraídos da Lagoa dos Patos e na Lagoa das Garças foram fatiados em intervalos uniformes de 2,2 e 2,0 cm respectivamente. Posteriormente foi realizada a análise geocronológica pelo método radioquímico do isótopo 210Pb. A quantificação do elemento Mercúrio foi realizada com o equipamento LUMEX. Enquanto os demais elementos-traço foram quantificados por meio de absorção atômica de chama, com abertura seguindo o método USEPA 3050B. Resultados: A taxa de sedimentação da Lagoa das Garças é de 7,7 mm ano-1 (2,66 kg m-2 ano-1) e da Lagoa dos Patos é de 6,0 mm ano-1 (1,94 kg m-2 ano-1). Conclusão: Os sedimentos das Lagoas dos Patos e da Lagoa das Garças possuem concentrações de elementos-traço semelhantes aos valores de referência. O principal fator que regula o fornecimento de elementos-traço na planície aluvial do Alto Rio Paraná são os pulsos de inundação, que podem ser magnificados pelo fenômeno climático El Niño. A queima da cana-de-açúcar, aumento da agropecuária, urbanização e lançamento de efluentes de siderúrgicas contribuíram para o aumento da concentração de alguns elementos-traço. Enquanto a adsorção por macrofitas aquáticas e o processo de oligotrofização, causado pelas barragens a montante da planície aluvial, acarretaram na redução da concentração de outros elementos

Resumo: Nesta pesquisa procurou-se avaliar a validade e adequacidade de métodos alternativos aplicados no isolamento e identificação de Clostridium botulinum, a ocorrência do mesmo em sedimentos lacustres e em peixes de aqüicultura e a influência da temperatura, composição da atmosfera na embalagem e do lactato de sódio no desenvolvimento de esporos desta bactéria, inoculados experimentalmente em filés de tilápia. Os estudos efetuados permitiram otimizar o meio de Ágar Tripticase Glicose Extrato de Levedura para contagem em placas pela técnica de inoculação em profundidade, permitindo uma diferenciação na triagem inicial, podendo também ser utilizado adicionado dos antibióticos cicloserina, sulfametoxazole e trimethoprim, tornando-se seletivo para contagem preliminar de cepas proteolíticas da bactéria. Para avaliação da ocorrência de C. botulinum, foram analisadas um total de 200 amostras de vísceras de peixes e 100 amostras de sedimentos de tanques de criação através das técnicas de Número Mais Provável (NMP) e de contagem em placas por inoculação em profundidade, indicando ocorrência de 1% e 8%, respectivamente, constatando-se apenas a presença de cepas dos tipos C e E da bactéria. Em termos quantitativos, as populações de C. botulinum verificadas nas amostras positivas de vísceras e sedimentos foram muito reduzidas, na faixa de 0,01 a 0,05NMP/g. Os filés de tilápia inoculados experimentalmente com esporos de C. botulinum não se apresentaram tóxicos após armazenamento a 4°C durante 45 dias, em atmosfera modificada com ou sem tratamento com lactato. No entanto, pela elevação da temperatura para 12°C a toxicidade foi comprovada, independentemente do uso de outros obstáculos como o lactato de sódio ou a atmosfera modificada.
Abstract: In this research we aim to evaluate the validity and adequacy of alternative methods applied to the isolation and identification of Clostridium botulinum, its occurrence in lake sediments and farmed fish and the influence of temperature, atmospheric composition on the packaging and of sodium lactate in the development of its spores inoculated experimentally in tilapia fillets. The studies carried out led to the optimization of the Agar Tripticase Peptone Glucose Yeast Extract for pour-plate counting allowing for a preliminary differentiation as well as being able to be utilized when the antibiotics cicloserine, sulfametoxazole and trimethoprim are added, becoming selective for preliminary counting of proteolytic strains of the bacteria. To evaluate the occurrence of C. botulinum, a total of 200 fish gut samples and 100 samples of sediment from fish farm tanks were analyzed by the Most Probable Number (MPN) and by pour-plate techniques, indicating levels of 1% and 8%, respectively, and showing only the presence of the C and E C. botulinum types. In quantitative terms, the population of C. botulinum verified in the positive gut and sediment samples was very low, around 0.01 to 0.05 MPN/g. The tilapia fillets experimentally inoculated with C. botulinum spores did not become toxic after storage at 4°C for 45 days in modified atmosphere packaging with or without lactate treatment. However, when the temperature was increased to 12°C the toxicity was proven independently of the use of other barriers such as sodium lactate and modified atmosphere.

Full textThe medieval Norse colonization of Greenland (986-1450 AD) and the subsequent reestablishment of agriculture in south Greenland, aided by recent climate warming, constitute a conceptual model that is particularly well adapted to understanding the relations between a community and its environment. In this perspective, a multi-parameter sedimentological study was undertaken on the sedimentary sequence of Lake Igaliku (N61°00’22”, W45°26’28”), situated in the heart of the medieval and current agricultural sector. The 4 m long sequence, covering the entire Holocene evolution of the lake (~10 000 years), was studied at high temporal resolution. The analyses included the physico-chemical characterization of the sediments (density, magnetic susceptibility, XRF, X-ray imaging, grain size, carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur content, ICP-AES, δ13C and δ15N isotopic ratios) as well as the biological components of the sediment (pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, diatoms). 28 radiocarbon dates as well as 210Pb and 137Cs measurements created a precise temporal framework with which to reconstruct the postglacial evolution of the lake and its catchment in terms of isostatic constraints, climatic forcing and anthropogenic impacts. The first phase of basin evolution is primarily controlled by isostasy, with the rapid transition from glaciomarine conditions to a freshwater lake as the basin emerged from the fjord 9500 yr BP. Afterwards, the sedimentary sequence records the paleoclimatic evolution of the region. Paleolimnological and terrestrial proxies suggest an early warm phase likely interrupted by a cold, windy, dry period between 8600 yr BP and 8100 yr BP. A second dry, windy period between 5300 yr BP and 4800 yr BP predated the transition to neoglacial cooling, which is characterised at Igaliku by a switch to humid and perhaps cooler conditions after 4800 BP, and which caused a major shift in both aquatic and terrestrial ecology. Approximately 1000 AD, after the arrival of Norse settlers, the lacustrine system became anthropogenically dominated. Land clearing and domestic herbivores introduction in the lake catchment doubled the rate of soil erosion (from 4 mm century-1 to 8 mm century-1 by 1200 AD) and caused a major modification of the organic carbon influx. On the other hand, diatom assemblages demonstrate that the lake ecology was not strongly impacted by medieval agriculture at this site. After 1325 AD, until the end of the Norse tenure in the mid-15th century, terrestrial vegetation showed signs of rebound and soil erosion decreased. This agricultural diminishment, probably in relation to the beginning of the Little Ice Age, is consistent with an important change in subsistence patterns evidenced by archaeology in this region. The reestablishment of agriculture at the beginning of the 20th century marks the reinvigoration of erosional processes that are similar in intensity to that of the Norse settlement. On the other hand, the intensification and modernization of farming practices during the 1980s is responsible for marked soil erosion (21 mm century-1) and a shift in lake ecology (eutrophication) that is unprecedented in the 9500 yr history of the lake. The combined effects of agriculture and climate warming already underway (initiated in the 1920s at Igaliku) will have large environmental consequences for the future of this region

O estudo sobre a evolução mineralógica e geoquímica das crostas lateríticas e dos sedimentos sobrepostos na estrutura de Seis Lagos (Amazonas), foi baseado em amostras de crostas lateríticas superficiais e três furos de sondagem. Na caracterização química dos materiais estudados foram empregados métodos clássicos e espectroanalíticos. Na caracterização mineralógica foi utilizado difração de raios-X, microscopia ótica, espectroscopia no infravermelho e termogravimetria (ATD e ATG). Foram efetuadas análises por sistema dispersivo de energia (EDS), que foram aplicados nos estudos micromorfológicos das crostas e sedimentos da Bacia Esperança. Nas amostras de siderita foram determinados os isótopos de 13C e 18O e razões isotópicas 87Sr/86Sr. Na tentativa de datar as amostras totais e siderita da brecha carbonática, foi utilizado o método Rb/Sr. As características texturais, mineralógicas e geoquímicas observadas nas crostas superficiais e do perfil do furo 1, mostraram origem laterítica para esses materiais. A assinatura carbonatítica das crostas foi indicada pelos minerais como ilmenorutilo, Nb-rutilo, Nb-brookita, pirocloro e monazita, típicos de carbonatitos e rochas associadas e resistentes aos processos lateríticos e pelos teores elevados e anômalos de Nb, ETR, também de Ba, Mn, Th, Co, Zr, Sc, V, Mo e Be. O perfil do furo 3, que se apresentou estruturado em horizontes bem distintos, característicos de perfil laterítico, mostrou composição química-mineralógica indicativa de derivação laterítica a partir de rochas aluminosilicatadas pobres em ferro, como as encaixantes (granitos e gnaisses) de Seis Lagos. Os sedimentos da bacia Esperança mostraram que tiveram como área fonte os diferentes horizontes dos perfis lateríticos e grande contribuição orgânica vegetal e animal. Os materiais que constituiram a brecha carbonática, foram provenientes das crostas ferruginosas lateríticas dada a semelhança geoquímica entre esses materiais, a presença dos minerais resistatos da crosta ferruginosa e de minerais típicos de ambiente sedimentar-diagenético, essencialmente ferrosos como pirita e siderita. A argila carbonosa demonstrou ter como área fonte os horizontes argilosos lateríticos como aqueles do perfil do furo 3 e, que a deposição desta camada ocorreu em momento de menor subsidência da bacia Esperança, quando as crostas ferruginosas que estavam situadas em níveis mais elevados tinham sido erodidas e os horizontes argilosos estavam expostos. A camada de sapropelito indicou a instalação de um ambiente ácido redutor prolongado, dada pela sua elevada espessura, que sua constituição química-mineralógica foi contribuída também pelos lateritos, principalmente, dos horizontes argilosos, e que a formação de pirita foi a mesma daquela da brecha carbonática. A camada de argila creme-solo foi constituída também dos horizontes argilosos, como indicou sua composição química-mineralógica. Na brecha carbonática da seqüência litológica da bacia Esperança não foram encontrados minerais típicos de carbonatitos, a exceção dos resistatos (ilmenorutilo, Nb-rutilo, Nb-brokita, pirocloro e monazita) e siderita não comuns nessas rochas, mas minerais lateríticos como gibbsita e grupo da crandalita. As filiações geoquímicas encontradas entre crostas e brecha carbonática e argilas/sapropelito e horizontes argilosos lateríticos foram notáveis. O não alinhamento dos pontos analíticos no diagrama isocrônico (87Rb/86Sr vs. 87Sr/86Sr) obtidos tanto das amostras totais como de cristais de siderita da brecha carbonática não foram compatíveis com rochas homogêneas, como seriam esperados para carbonatitos, ao contrário do espesso pacote sedimentar. Os resultados mineralógicos, geoquímicos e isotópicos demonstraram que a brecha carbonática não corresponde à rocha carbonatítica, e que os sedimentos da bacia Esperança incluindo a brecha carbonática tiveram como área fonte principal os diferentes horizontes dos perfis lateríticos, onde a crosta ferruginosa foi a fonte de grande parte dos sedimentos da base da coluna (base da bacia, provavelmente) e os horizontes argilosos das camadas superiores. Isso permitiu que em toda a extensão da coluna, fosse transferida a assinatura geoquímica da fonte primária geradora dos lateritos que foram rochas carbonatiticas, e preservada nos lateritos.
The study of the mineralogical and geochemical evolution of the lateritic crusts and the overlying sediment in the structure of Seis Lagos (Amazonas State) has been based on the analyses of samples from the surface lateritic crusts and from three boreholes as well. In the chemical characterization of the examined material, it has been used both classic and spectroanalytic methods, while in the mineralogical characterization, x-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry (DTA and DTG) have been employed. Energy dispersive system analyses (EDS) have been performed and applied to the micromorphologic study of the crusts and sediments from the Esperança Basin. In siderite samples, it has been determined 13C and 18O isotopic contents as well as the 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios. The Rb/Sr method has been used in an attempt to date whole samples and siderites from the carbonatic breccias. The textural, mineralogical and geochemical features observed, both in the surface crusts and in the profile of the borehole number 1, point to a lateritic origen for those materials. The carbonatitic signature of the crusts is indicated by typical minerals of carbonatites and associated rocks such as ilmenorutile, Nb-rutile, Nb-brookite, pyrochlore and monazite, which are resistant to lateritic processes; by high and anomalous contents of Nb, REE, as well as, Mn, Th, Co, Zr, Sc, V, Mo and Be. The profile of the borehole number 3 is arranged in well distinct horizons, what is characteristic of lateritic profiles, shows chemical and mineralogical compositions indicative of a lateritic derivation from aluminosilicatic iron-poor rocks, as those of the wall rocks (granites and gneisses) of Seis Lagos. The sediments of the Esperança Basin show evidence of being derived from the different horizons which make up the lateritic profiles, with a significant vegetable- and animal-derived organic contribution. The materials which constitute the carbonatic breccia are thought to be originated from lateritic ferruginous crust due to the existing geochemical similarities among them, to the presence of resistate minerais of the ferruginous crust and to the presence of essentially iron-bearing minerais, typical of sedimentary-diagenetic environment, such as pyrite and siderite. The carbonaceous clay proved to be derived from lateritic clayey horizons, as those of the profile of the borehole 3, and the deposition of this layer took place in a moment of lower subsidence rate in the Esperança Basin, when the ferruginous crust, positioned at higher levels, were being eroded and the cayey horizons were exposed. The sapropelite layer indicates, considering its large thickness, that a development of a long-lasting acid and reducing environment might have taken place; its chemical and mineralogical composition received contributions from latentes, mainly from the clayey horizons; and the pyrite formation has been the sanie of that of the carbonatic breccia. The beige-colored clay bed, as it is indicated by its chemical and mineralogical composition, was also formed by clayey-horizons material. In the carbonatic breccia of the Esperança Basin, typical caxbonatite minerals have not been found, except for the resistates (ilmenorutile, Nb-rutile, Nb-brookite, pyrochlore and monazite) and siderite, where the last one is not a common constituent of those rocks. Lateritic minerals, however, such as gibbsite and those of the crandallite group have been found. The geochemical filiation reported among crusts, carbonatic breccias, clay/sapropelite and clayey lateritic horizons is noteworthy. The nonalignment of the points plotted in isochronic diagram (87Rb/86Sr vs. "Sr/"Sr), obtained either from the whole sample or the individual siderite analyses of the carbonatic breccia are not compatible with homogenous rocks, as it would be expected for carbonatites, although they are with the thick sedimentary pile. The mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic data demonstrate that the carbonatic breccia composition does not correspond to that of the carbonatites and thus the sediments of the Esperança Basin, including the carbonatic breccia, might have had the various horizons of the lateritic profiles as their source, where the ferruginous crust might have largely been the source for the sediments of the base of column (probably the basal portion of the basin) as well as the clayey horizons of the upper beds might have been. This made possible that, along all the extension of the stratigraphic column, the geochemical signature of the carbonatitic source rock, from which the laterites were generated, was transferred to the sedimentary rocks as well as it was also preserved in the laterites.

CAPES
O presente estudo baseou-se na análise palinológica de uma sondagem com 90,50 m, denominada 2 JSN-01-PE, na Serra Negra, Ibimirim, PE, realizada pelo Projeto Rede 07 - Caracterização Geológica e Geofísica de Campos Maduros – Fase 4, Convênio 01.07.0721.00 – FINEP/UFPE. Foram analisados 122 níveis estratigráficos, onde as amostras foram submetidas ao procedimento químico para a extração dos palinomorfos, segundo o protocolo palinológico para sedimentos mesozoicos. Após a leitura das lâminas observou-se que em 58 níveis não foi possível à recuperação de palinomorfos; e que 64 níveis são portadores de bom resíduo orgânico, permitindo o reconhecimento dos palinomorfos característicos do Cretáceo Inferior. Na análise quantitativa foram contados 200 palinomorfos para cada amostra. A associação palinofloristica descrita para a Formação Crato na Bacia do Jatobá, demonstra o predomínio de elementos de origem continental, com grãos de pólen de gimnospermas e angiospermas, esporos de pteridófitas e alga Botryococcus. Nota-se a abundância dos tipos de clima quente como Equisetosporistes, Cicatricosisporites, Crybelosporites e Classopollis, distribuídos entre 120 espécies. Observou-se a ocorrência de palinomorfos retrabalhados de idade Devoniana Superior, provavelmente dos sedimentos da Formação Inajá (Veryachium e Maranhites) que serviram de fonte de parte dos sedimentos Aptianos. A associação palinofloristica permitiu uma subdivisão da seção analisada em 4 palinozonas informais que pode, potencialmente ser aplicada a toda bacia. Através da análise palinológica atribuiu-se a Formação Crato idade aptiana, tendo correspondência com o Andar Alagoas (local). As evidências palinológicas sugerem uma deposição predominantemente continental lacustre. Devido as suas características, a associação palinoflorística pode ser inserida na província “WASA” (Oeste da África e América do Sul) por Herngreen & Chlonova (1981), atualmente denominada Província a “Pre-Albian Early Cretaceous Dicheiropollis etruscus/Afropollis” de Herngreen et al. (1996).

Full textPresent study aimed to reconstruct the human impact history on the Garças Lake Drainage Basin during the 20th Century based on contaminants deposition on the lacustrine sediment. Garças Lake is located in a preservation area, the Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga (PEFI), located in a highly populated urban area within the city of São Paulo. Two sediment cores (LG05-03 and LG05-04, 70 cm and 65 cm long) were sampled by divers at the deepest site of the lake, which were sliced at 1 cm intervals. Information for LG05-03 included total organic carbon (TOC), total nutrients (TN and TP), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aliphatic hydrocarbons (n-alkanes) and grain size vertical distributions. Deposition of heavy metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) and the geocronology by \'ANTPOT. 210 Pb\', using CIC model (Constant Initial Concentration), were determined in LG05-04. Data were analyzed by multivariate statistic analysis (PCA, principal components analysis). Based on data trends and PCA, it was possible to recognized three main phases: Phase I: 64-43 cm (~1894-1975) characterized by low nutrients and contaminants concentrations, allowing retrieving preindustrial levels of these compounds, which are proposed as regional reference values. Besides, C/N ratio and n-alkanes ratios demonstrated aloctonous organic matter predominance; Phase II: 43-26 cm (~1975-1990) characterized by the abrupt increase of heavy metals and vehicular PAHs concentration, indicating the atmospheric pollution increase, due to the great economic rise experienced by the city of São Paulo over that time and the higher vehicles circulation in the region. Yet, it was observed a gradual increase in nutrient concentration attributed to the untreated sewage inputs from the São Paulo State Department of Agriculture and Provisioning headquarters and the city Zoo; Phase III: 26-0 cm (~1990-2005) characterized by a marked increase in nutrient concentration related to the untreated sewage inputs, leading to the increase of eutrophication, as registered by the n-\'C IND.17\' distribution. A peak of coal PAHs concentration was also noticed, related to a neighbor steel mill (J.L. Aliperti), followed by a subsequent decrease of these compounds, coincident with industrial procedures changes. Besides, there was an expressive increase in vehicular PAHs concentrations, corroborating the scenery of a drastic raise of vehicles in the last decade. The present study contributed to the national scenario towards urban drainage basin management. It included records since preindustrial time (~1894) up to the present, highlighting the potential use of lacustrine sediment on the retrieval of historical environmental changes of aquatic ecosystems and associated anthropogenic impacts.

Full textSediments from the supereutrophic reservoir of Salto Grande, City of Americana, São Paulo State, Brazil, were cultivated under anaerobic conditions in a mineral medium added of organic compounds (volatile fatty acids and alcohols) in order to produce methane. Under 70% of methane production, sediment samples were used for tests of TCE anaerobic degradation. The tests were carried out under N2/CO2 (70:30%) atmosphere in reactor flasks, at 25°C, and constant shaking at 150 rpm. The reactor flasks were prepared with mineral medium, added with organic sources [5 mM of acetic, formic and butyric acids, plus 2.5 mM of lactic acid and 5 mM of ethanol and methanol each], and inoculated with 5 g of STV/L of the sediments. Amounts of 6 and 12 mg/L of TCE concentrations were evaluated. Two types of control reactors were prepared, without TCE and without sediments. Diversity analyses using the DGGE - Denaturing Gradient Gel Eletrophoresis - technique were done with samples from the reactor flasks at the end of the experiment. The community DNA was extracted as described by TSAl & OLSON (1991) and fragments of the 16SDNAr were magnified using the PCR methodology, with Bacteria and Archaea domain primers. The results showed degradation of 40% of TCE at concentrations of 6 mg/L and 12 mg/L after 13 days of incubation time, and complete organic acids removal with 40% of methane in the atmosphere. A second addition of 9 mM of the former organic acids indicated and 4.5 mM of lactic acid resulted in 90% of TCE removal, with 50% of methane, after 56 days of incubation time. Morphologies similar to the genera Methanosarcina, Methanosaeta and Methanospirillum were verified. The microbial diversity analysis did not reveal significant differences among Bacteria and Archaea domains under TCE additions. It was possible to assume that the enriched microbiota from the Salto Grande reservoir was resistant to the concentrations of TCE studied and can be responsible for the degradation processes under methanogenesis.

Full textStudies carried out in recent years have shown that oxygen concentration in the water column is the main factor controlling all biogeochemical reactions in surface sediment, as well as controlling transfers of nutrients, trace elements (TE) at the sediment water interface (SWI). Three lagoons on France’s Mediterranean coast (Berre, Thau and Prévost) are among the world’s most eutrophied coastal zones impacted by hypoxia episodes, with high accumulations of nutrients, metals and metalloids in their sediment. They are also characterized by different benthic habitats, some of which include macrophytes, which have been shown to regulate nutrient flux at IES. This thesis project aims to better understand the impact of deoxygenation phenomena on the mobility of nutrients and TE present in Mediterranean lagoon sediment, in the presence of different benthic habitats representing their eutrophication gradient. The results show that the Berre lagoon is the site most impacted by long-lasting (1 week) and seasonal episodes of deoxygenation; the Prévost lagoon exhibits wide nycthemeral variations, going from hypoxia to hyperoxia in less than 12 h during the summer season; the Thau lagoon site seems the most resilient about deoxygenation. Under summer conditions, sediment and porewater concentrationprofiles show enrichments in nutrients and sulfides in the substrates of benthic habitats in lagoons with the most advanced eutrophication status (Berre and Prévost), and also in the presence of macroalgae (Prévost and Thau). These enrichments are the result of strong organic matter mineralization, and the more reducing conditions in these habitats binding the TE (As, Sb, Cd, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, Co, Hgtot) to the solid phase of the sediment. Comparison with available environmental thresholds enables us to identify habitats in the Berre lagoon that are highly at risk in terms of eutrophication support, remobilization of TE at SWI and ecotoxicological risk. The acquisition of dissolved oxygen concentration gradients within the benthic boundary layer (BBL) at high temporal resolution has enabled us to identify the high oxygen demand of sediment in the Berre lagoon and the nighttime deoxygenations resulting from the presence of opportunistic macroalgae in the Prévost lagoon. The punctual acquisition of concentration gradients illustrates nutrient exports from the sediment to the water column that are more intense under anoxic and euxinic conditions, and exports ofMn, Fe, As, Co under hypoxic conditions. However, concentration gradients under euxinic conditions indicate the trapping of TE (Mn, Fe, Cu,Mo) with the sulfide phases of the sediment. In addition, in situ and ex situ incubation experiments under "forced" deoxygenation conditions for the various benthic habitats present at these three sites yielded SWI fluxes that also followed this trend. Nutrient fluxes were shown to intensify following deoxygenation in eutrophied bare sediment habitats affected by deoxygenation (Berre) and specifically in habitats containing opportunistic (Prévost) and perennial (Thau) macroalgae. For these same habitats, the most intense exports of TE (Mn, Fe, As, Co, V , Mo) were measured under hypoxic and anoxic conditions, while fluxes decreased or reversed under euxinic conditions. This comparative and experimental field approach brings an integrative biogeochemical perspective on the chemical quality of sediment in lagoon environments undergoing re-oligotrophication. It provides a context for their great temporal variability, as well as their vulnerability to climate change

Full textAs alterações ambientais locais e globais podem afectar a qualidade ecológica dos lagos. Na ausência de dados históricos, a detecção e quantificação destas alterações podem ser reveladas por técnicas paleolimnológicas. Os sedimentos lacustres têm sido utilizados cada vez mais nos últimos anos para inferir flutuações nas condições ambientais do passado, e vários estudos que abrangem diversas escalas, locais e temporais, têm mostrado a importância dos lagos como arquivos paleoclimáticos e ecológicos. Dos vários depósitos biológicos preservados nos sedimentos lacustres, as diatomáceas constituem indicadores paleoecológicos úteis, principalmente pela sua grande abundância, as suas frústulas de sílica encontram-se bem preservadas e pela elevada diversidade específica. De modo a desenvolver modelos de inferência para as variáveis ambientais a partir das diatomáceas dos sedimentos, 40 lagos, distribuídos pelas ilhas dos Açores, foram amostrados utilizando um corer gravimétrico e diversas variáveis ambientais foram medidas, entre as quais, variáveis hidromorfológicas, físico-químicas e variáveis de impacte. Identificaram-se 207 taxa de diatomáceas, distribuídos por 55 géneros. Realizaram-se análises multivariadas (PCA, ANOSIM, nMDS, SIMPER, DistLM) para analisar os conjuntos de diatomáceas dos sedimentos superficiais e para relacionar estes com as condições ecológicas e ambientais. Verificou-se que existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas na composição taxonómica para o grupo “Tipologia” (R = 0,449; p = 0,001), lagoas profundas e pouco profundas. As espécies que mais contribuem para a dissimilaridade entre as tipologias de lagoas são Aulacoseira ambigua, Asterionella formosa, A. granulata, características de lagoas profundas e Stauroforma exiguiformis, Tabellaria flocculosa morfo 1 e Brachysira brebissonii, características de lagoas pouco profundas. O dbRDA ilustra como as comunidades de diatomáceas se encontram separadas pela tipologia das lagoas, sendo as variáveis que mais contribuem para essa separação a condutividade e o pH e variáveis indicadoras do estado trófico, clorofila a e fósforo total. As variáveis que apresentaram maior correlação com as diatomáceas foram usadas para desenvolver funções de transferência baseadas no Weighted Averaging (WA) e Weighted Averaging Partial Least Squares (WA-PLS), modelos de calibração e regressão. De uma forma geral o método WA classical deshrinking foi aquele que apresentou melhor desempenho para as variáveis pH, condutividade, fósforo total, profundidade máxima, clorofila a, sílica e temperatura média do ar no mês de Julho. Os valores de predição por Jack-Knife obtidos para estas variáveis são bastante elevados (R2 Jack-Knife de 0,829; 0,797; 0,822; 0,848; 0,579; 0,529 e 0,485, respectivamente) e os erros de predição (RMSEP) e os enviesamentos são reduzidos. As funções de transferência revelam-se de uma importância extrema, pois permitem reconstruir quantitativamente as últimas condições ambientais, proporcionam ferramentas para a caracterização de tipologias de lagos, permitem definir as condições de referência ecológica e química e permitem avaliar o desvio a partir dos estados de referência. O reconhecimento do impacte que as alterações ambientais passadas exerceram sobre os ecossistemas pode contribuir significativamente para a previsão de alterações futuras resultantes de alterações ambientais locais e globais.
ABSTRACT: Local and global environmental changes can affect ecological quality of lakes. In the absence of historical data the detection and quantification of these changes can be reveled by paleolimnological approaches. Lake sediments have been used increasingly in recent years to infer past fluctuations in environmental conditions and several studies covering several local and temporal scales have shown the importance of lakes as paleoclimate and ecological archives. Of the range of biological remains preserved in lake sediments, diatoms are useful paleoecological indicators mostly because their wide distribution well preserved silicate frustules, high indicator values and high species diversity. In order to develop inference models for environmental variables from diatom assemblages in sediments, 40 lakes distributed throughout Azorean islands were sampled using a gravimetric corer and several environmental variables were measured. 207 taxa, spread over 55 genera were identified. Multivariate analyses (PCA, ANOSIM, nMDS, SIMPER, DistLM) were used in order to analyze the diatoms assemblages in the surface sediments and to relate them with the ecological and environmental conditions. Was verified that there are statistically significant differences in taxonomic composition for the “Typology” group (R = 0,449, p = 0,001), deep and shallow lakes. The species that most contributed to the dissimilarity between lakes typology were, Aulacoseira ambigua, Alterionella formosa, A. granulata, species mostly found in deep lakes and Stauroforma exiguiformis Tabellaria flocculosa morfo 1 and Brachysira brebissonii, species mostly found in shallow lakes. The dbRDA illustrates how diatom communities are separated by lakes typology. The variables conductivity and pH and the indicator variables of trophic state, chlorophyll a and total phosphorous were those that most contributed to this separation. The variables with the highest correlation with diatoms assemblages were used to develop transfer functions based in Weighted Averaging (WA) and Weighted Averaging Partial Least Square (WA-PLS), regression and calibration models. In general, the WA classical deshrinking method presented the best performance for pH, conductivity, total phosphorous, maximum depth, chlorophyll a, silica and average air temperature in July. The prediction values obtained by Jack-Knife for those variables are quite high (R2 Jack-Knife de 0,829; 0,797; 0,822; 0,848; 0,579; 0,529 e 0,485, respectively), and errors of prediction (RMSEP) and bias values are reduced. Transfer functions allow to reconstruct quantitatively past environmental conditions, provide tools for characterizing lake types, define the ecological and chemical reference conditions and allow to evaluate the deviation from the reference state. The recognition of the impact that past environmental changes exerted on the ecosystem can contribute significantly to the prediction of future changes resulting from local and global environmental changes.
