“…Two distinct ecological phases were identified: (1) Zone I (ca. 1859–1950 CE) recorded stable, weak alkaline (pH classes 3–4) and fresh-brackish (salinity class around 2) conditions, with diatoms Aulacoseira granulata (43–72%) and Aulacoseira ambigua (4–17%) being dominant, indicating a moderately eutrophic state with a relatively low level of organic pollution. (2) Zone II (ca. 1951–1962 CE) marked a transition to fluctuating conditions, with a sharp decline in A. granulata (16–36%) and an increase in pollution-tolerant taxa (such as Stephanocyclus meneghinianus: 2–32%, Nitzschia palea: 7–20%), and changes in oxygen requirements (classes 2–3 to 2–4), saprobity (classes 1–2 to 2–3), nitrogen metabolism (classes 1–2 to 1–3), and trophic state (classes 4–5 to 5). …”
