Article Synopsis
- - This study examines sedimentation patterns in four high-altitude lakes in Southern Carpathians, Romania, over the past 200 years, using a unique method to identify whether changes are due to human activity or natural processes.
- - High-resolution chronologies were created using Pb dating and supported by Cs markers, revealing short periods of increased sedimentation, up to five times the average rate, mainly linked to human actions like road construction and significant natural events.
- - The analysis highlighted significant deviations from expected natural sedimentation trends, using a first-order derivative equation to compare changes in sedimentation rates to a baseline from an isolated peat bog, offering insights into the causes of intense sedimentation episodes.
The problem of soil degradation has accentuated over recent decades. Aspects related to soil erosion and its relation to changes in land use as well as anthropogenic influence constitute a topic of great interest. The current study is focused on a soil erosion assessment in relation to land use activities in the Pănăzii Lake catchment area.
