An overview of the recent palaeolimnology of selected lakes in the Romanian Carpathians

<p>Lakesediments can act as sensitive monitors of environmental change and human impacts. The Romanian Carpathians hold a significant number of glacial lakes and transverse a region of considerable environmental concerns, but relatively sparse environmental data and little recent lake sediment...
