Abstract

Records of bottom sediments accumulated in Lake Oron over the last 200 years were analyzed. Chironomidological and palynological examinations of Lake Oron bottom sediments, based on a 10-cm-thick sample from drilling, were conducted. The dynamic climate effect on fauna was studied by examination of Chironomidae larvae from the lake. The lake’s hydrological status and the local and regional landscape and vegetation were also determined. As a result of these environmental studies, the effect of Lake Oron’s nearshore conversion to bog on the process of the lake water’s acidification was assumed, and the approximate dates of the process were defined as beginning in the 1940s.
