Abstract

ICOLLs are extremely sensitive to human activities when it comes to sediment metal and nutrient enrichment. To better understand anthropogenic influences associated with Carapebus ICOLL basin historical land use based in Serra, Great Vitória, ES, Brazil, two sediment cores were studied for trace and major elements, organic matter, C/N ratios, total sulfur, and phosphorus. Two stratigraphic units could be found in the sediment cores, one that is related to urbanization, more specifically sewage discharges, and an older one of lithogenic origin with maritime influence. A transition period was also identified from terrestrial influence (upper plants), probably due to deforestation. The more recent stratigraphic unit is characterized by higher organic and metal contents, while the former one is sandy, enriched in detrital metals and calcite. We derived that the Carapebus ICOLL hydrological regime of recent years was changed by the land-use changes in the watershed, specifically due to a larger sediment loading and subsequent closure of the berm. An originally mesotrophic system, Carapebus Lagoon shows the first signs of eutrophication.
