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.

Abstract This article presents the results of the study of the bottom sediments of the meromictic Lake Doroninskoe. For the study, the method of spore-pollen analysis was used. The record showed that during the accumulation of 65 cm of the sediment layer in the Chita-Ingodinskaya depression, pine and larch predominated along the ridges, with steppe and meadow associations in the lower parts of the depression. According to regional correlations, the distribution of light-coniferous-taiga vegetation in Transbaikalia occurred as early as the Middle Holocene, and it did not undergo cardinal changes until modern times. According to these data, sediments may have accumulated during this time period.

Abstract. Disproportional warming in the northern high latitudes and large carbon stocks in boreal and (sub)arctic ecosystems have raised concerns as to whether substantial positive climate feedbacks from biogeochemical process responses should be expected. Such feedbacks occur when increasing temperatures lead, for example, to a net release of CO2 or CH4. However, temperature-enhanced emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) have been shown to contribute to the growth of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), which is known to have a negative radiative climate effect. Combining measurements in Eastern Siberia with model-based estimates of vegetation and permafrost dynamics, BVOC emissions, and aerosol growth, we assess here possible future changes in ecosystem CO2 balance and BVOC–SOA interactions and discuss these changes in terms of possible climate effects. Globally, the effects of changes in Siberian ecosystem CO2 balance and SOA formation are small, but when concentrating on Siberia and the Northern Hemisphere the negative forcing from changed aerosol direct and indirect effects become notable – even though the associated temperature response would not necessarily follow a similar spatial pattern. While our analysis does not include other important processes that are of relevance for the climate system, the CO2 and BVOC–SOA interplay serves as an example for the complexity of the interactions between emissions and vegetation dynamics that underlie individual terrestrial processes and highlights the importance of addressing ecosystem–climate feedbacks in consistent, process-based model frameworks.

Environmental issues in archaeology have become a very interesting theme to be researches. Those theme relates to landscapes, environmental changes, site formation and human adaptation processes. Faunal ecofact and artifact are commonly used as research data nowdays. Analysis of plants residu are less common because of the scarcity of those remains in the archaeological sites,especially prehistory. This paper attempts to explain some possible uses of microscopic plant residua analysis in the form of phytolith and starch for environmental studies. The method used in this paper is literature study on microbotani  as well as imitation experiments by combining several methods ever undertaken by previous researchers. This study shows that the  plants remains , especially the microbotany form of phytolith and starch provide significant information about the types of plants in the pass, environmental changes and their utilization by humans.
