The Huntsville and Lake of Bays areas are also peaking this week with very little leaf fall. Central regions are reporting a 60 – 80% colour change while Southern Ontario remains under 60%. Check back on Thursdays for updates on where you can see this annual phenomenon in Ontario. Northern Ontario Thunder Bay Area Percentage of Colour Change: PEAK Predominant Colours: an array of yellow/gold with splashes or red and orange Best way to view colours: It’s a beautiful time of year for hiking at Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park or at the Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority.

Heinrichs, Ian R. Walker, Rolf W. Mathewes and Richard J. Hebda Volume 53, Number 2, 1999 Article abstract Salinity fluctuations in lakes of semi-arid regions have been recognised as URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/004878ar indicators of paleoclimatic change and have provided a valuable line of DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/004878ar evidence in paleoclimatic reconstruction. However, factors other than climate, including sedimentologic events, may also affect salinity. At Kilpoola Lake, See table of contents early postglacial freshwater chironomids (Microtendipes, Sergentia, and Heterotrissocladius) occur in the basal sediments and yield a chironomid-inferred salinity of <0.03 g/l. Higher salinities, ranging from 1.0 to Publisher(s) 3.5 g/l, with Cricotopus/Orthocladius and Tanypus (chironomids typical of saline environments) follow and, persist for most of the remainder of the Les Presses de l'Université de Montréal Holocene. An inferred 450% salinity increase (from 1.6 to 7.3 g/l) occurred in the sediment above the Mount Mazama tephra, followed by a return to the ISSN pre-Mount Mazama salinity. The early Holocene pollen spectra are typical of open steppe, but the post-Mazama Artemisia pollen percentages are 0705-7199 (print) exceptionally high and are associated with silty clays.
