We attribute the occurrences of these phases to inflows that occur following heavy catchment rains at times when the reservoir is drawn down. These characteristic sections have, in turn, been used to refine the site's chronology. Despite having a length of almost 1.3 m, a variety of data suggests that the core has not recovered pre-reservoir sediment, but rather spans the period from 1981 (11 years after first filling) to 2001, when the core was extracted. It is clear, therefore, that sediments in the bottom of the reservoir are accumulating rapidly (>7 cm year-1), although more than 40% of this deposition occurs in less than 5% of the time. It appears that in the period 1996-2001, quiescent sedimentation rates, both in the perched bridge locality and on the reservoir bottom, slowed in response to reduced stream flow. Our findings indicate that, with caution, complex patterns of sedimentation in water storages can be disentangled. However, it was difficult to precisely correlate diatom sequences from the two records even in periods of quiescent sedimentation, suggesting that reservoir bottom diatom sequences should be interpreted with considerable caution. Furthermore, while storm-derived inflows such as those identified may deliver a substantial proportion of sediment and phosphorus load to storages, the ensuing deposition patterns may render much of the phosphorus unavailable to the overlying waters. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:33:01 AEST ]]> Anthropogenic acceleration of sediment accretion in lowland floodplain wetlands, Murray-Darling Basin, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1925 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:32:59 AEST ]]> Changes in the chemistry of sedimentary organic matter within the Coorong over space and time http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1707 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:32:47 AEST ]]> Changing fluxes of sediments and salts as recorded in lower River Murray wetlands, Australia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1691 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:32:47 AEST ]]>
