Topic: Gnadensee


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Lake Constance, Switzerland
The Untersee is separated from the main lake by a strip of land which is traversed by the Rhine at Konstanz.
At its northern end it splits into the Gnadensee, between the island of Reichenau and the Bodanrück, and the Zeller See, between the Höri and Mettnau peninsulas in Radolfzell Bay.
The whole of the southern shore of the lake is in Switzerland, much the greater part of it (running southeast to beyond Arbon) belonging to the canton of Thurgau and the rest (from the vicinity of Rorschach to the Old Rhine) to St Gallen.

Der Übergang vom natürlichen Allochthoneintrag durch den Wasserspiegelanstieg ist dabei nicht vom anthropogen verursachten abzugrenzen.
Allochthounus input caused by human activity in the sediments of the Gnadensee is likely in the time around 1600 BP cal and for the period between 1400 and 1500 BP cal. In the sediments of neither one of the lakes could any nutrient enrichment (P, K, Na) be registered.
The reconstruction of lake levels of the Gnadensee (and therefore of Lake Constance) is quite difficult because of the size of Lake Constance and its annual changes in the water level.
