Palinomorfos acuáticos (algas y acritarcos) del Holoceno de la laguna Hinojales (Buenos Aires, Argentina): interpretación paleoecológica

Abstract

Las muestras palinológicas de sedimentos holocenos provenientes de la laguna Hinojales (37º 34’" S; 57º 27’O), sudeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, contienen algas (Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta and Dinoflagellata) y acritarcos. Las algas clorofíceas consisten en cenobios de Pediastrum musterii Tell y Mataloni,P. boryanum (Turpin) Meneghini, y Scenedesmus sp., colonias de Botryococcus braunii Kützing, cigósporas de Debarya madrasensis Iyengar,Mougeotia laetenvirens (Braun) Wittrock, Mougeotia sp.,Zygnema sp. y Spirogyra spp., y esporas de Desmidiaceae. Las asociaciones también contienen vainas y acinetos bien preservados de Gloeotrichia sp. (cianofíceas), y dinoflagelados de agua dulce, representado por un género peridinioideo. Entre los acritarcos, Cobricosphaeridium spp. alcanza sus máximos valores porcentuales en la parte inferior del testigo, donde también están presentes esporas, posiblemente de algas de agua dulce. Estos palinomorfos, producidos por organismos de las comunidades planctónicas y bentónicas, son usados como indicadores de nutrientes, profundidad y cambios en la salinidad. Entre 4.500 – 2.100 14C años A.P., a partir de las fluctuantes frecuencias de algas y acritarcos, se infiere una salinidad y un tamaño variable del cuerpo de agua. Desde los 2.100 14C años A.P., las asociaciones algales indican una evolución a condiciones predominantemente de agua dulce y una transición gradual a condiciones tróficas favorables en la laguna. Valores más altos de Pediastrum spp., Scenedesmus sp.y Zygnemataceae, junto con bajas frecuencias de Botryococcus braunii reflejan niveles elevados de nutrientes en una laguna relativamente somera. El mejoramiento de las condiciones climáticas, especialmente un incremento en la temperatura promedio, pudo haber sido responsable de la expansión de plantas acuáticas y de la eutroficación natural del agua. Después de los 400 14C años A.P. el espectro sugiere un cuerpo de agua somero y eutrófico. Sin embargo, intervalos alternantes, menos favorables para las algas, reflejan una reducción en el tamaño del cuerpo de agua, posiblemente relacionado a períodos de menores precipitaciones.

Holocene palynological samples from the Laguna Hinojales (37º 34’ S; 57º 27’ W), southeastern Buenos Aires province, contain algae (Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta and Dinoflagellata) and acritarchs. The chlorophycean algae consist of cenobia of Pediastrum musterii Tell and Mataloni, P. boryanum (Turpin) Meneghini, and Scenedesmus sp., colonies of Botryococcus braunii Kützing, zygospores of Debarya madrasensis Iyengar, Mougeotia laetenvirens (Braun) Wittrock, Mougeotia sp., Zygnema sp. and Spirogyra spp., and spores of Desmidiaceae. Cyanophycean sheets and akinetes of Gloeotrichia sp. are well preserved. The assemblages also contain freshwater dinoflagellates, represented by a peridinioid genus. Among the acritarchs, Cobricosphaeridium spp. reach highest percentages in the lowermost part of the core, where possibly freshwater algal spores are also present. These palynomorphs, produced by organisms from plankton and benthic communities, are used as indicators of nutrient, depth and salinity changes. Variable size and salinity of the water body are inferred from fluctuating frequencies of algae and acritarchs between ca. 4,500 - 2,100 14C yr B.P. From 2,100 14C yr B.P., algal assemblages indicate a freshening of the water and a gradual transition to favourable trophic conditions in the shallow lake. Higher values of Pediastrum spp., Scenedesmus sp., and Zygnemataceae, along with low frequencies of Botryococcus braunii reflect elevated nutrient levels in a relatively shallow lake. The improvement of climatic conditions, especially an increase in average temperature, probably was responsible for the expansion of aquatic plants and natural eutrophication of the water environment. After 400 14C yr B.P. the spectrum suggests a shallow eutrophic lake. However, alternating intervals, less favourable for algae, reflect a reduction in the water body size, possibly related to periods of lower precipitation.
