The premise of this article is that climate effects on lakes can be quantified most effectively by the integration of process‐oriented limnological studies with paleolimnological research, particularly when both disciplines operate within a common conceptual framework. To this end, the energy (E)‐mass ( m ) flux framework (E m flux) is developed and applied to selected retrospective studies to demonstrate that climate variabil...

We used high‐resolution paleoecological records of environmental change to study the rate and magnitude of eutrophication over the last century in two contrasting coastal ecosystems. A multiproxy approach using geochemical and biological indicators and diatom‐based transfer functions provides a long‐term perspective on changes in nutrient concentrations and the corresponding biological and sedimentary responses. In Roskilde Fj...
