A 700-year record on the effects of climate and human impact on the southern Cape coast inferred from lake sediments of Eilandvlei, Wilderness Embayment, South Africa
(supprimer)
. A rising mean lake level, possibly associated with an altered water balance or relative sea-level rise, may offer an explanation for the deposition of finer sediments. After AD 1450, reduced burial flux of elements associated with autochthonous sediment
formation may have resulted from ecological changes in Eilandvlei. Then, increasing sediment and nutrient flux into Eilandvlei is highlighted following the arrival of European colonists and land use change.
