TY - T1 - Controls of climate, catchment erosion and biological production on long-term community and functional changes of chironomids in High Arctic lakes (Svalbard) SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/319337 T3 - A1 - Luoto, Tomi P.; Ojala, Antti E.K. A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Arctic freshwater basins are diversity hotspots and sentinels of climate change, but their long-term variability and the environmental variables controlling them are not well defined. We examined four available lake sediment sequences from High Arctic Svalbard for their subfossil Chironomidae communities, biodiversity and functional traits and assessed the influence of climatic and limnological variability on the long-term ecological dynamics. Our results indicated that collector-filterers had a...
