Over recent decades, palaeolimnological records from remote sites have provided convincing evidence for the onset and development of several facets of global environmental change. Remote lakes have the advantage of not being overprinted by local anthropogenic processes. Many of these sites record broad-scale environmental changes, frequently driven by regime shifts in the Earth system. The history of investigation or remote lakes has evolved synchronously with the scope and awareness of environmental problems. An initial focus on acid deposition switched to metal and other types of pollutants, then climate change and eventually to atmospheric deposition-fertilizing effects. However, none of these topics is independent of the other, and all of them affect ecosystem function and biodiversity in profound ways. We review a selection of studies from North America and Europe and discuss broader implications of these effects.
