Outline of Final Research Achievements

Paleolimnological studies using sediment cores were carried out to assess the effects of anthropogenic aerosols on mountain lake ecosystems from the central to southwest Japan. In the Lake Shirakoma and Lake Odano, plankton biomasses increased around since the 1990s. In Lake Odano, the concentration of sedimentary SCPs (spheroidal carbonaceous particles) derived from fossil fuel combustion also increased around the 1990s, which indicates that coal combustion dust further expanded into this mountain area around that time. Additionally, sedimentary values of δ15N in this lake prominently decreased around since the 1990s. No continuous changes were detected in watershed and climate conditions around the lake at this time. All these results and previous studies suggest the increase of anthropogenically produced dust may impart damaging impacts on pristine mountain lakes in a wide area from Kyushu to Tohoku even if they are protected in national parks.
