Short summary
Climate warming speeds up lake eutrophication, creating “dead zones” where aquatic life suffocates due to oxygen depletion. The sediments of Amsoldingersee, a Swiss lake, revealed how climate shifts impacted the lake around 10 000–18 000 years ago. (1) Algal composition differed between both cold and warm periods. (2) Nutrient additions from dust controlled algal growth more than temperature. (3) Cold periods with ice cover led to oxygen depletion. (4) Algal communities recovered after anoxic phases.
