14,000-year Carbon Accumulation Dynamics in a Siberian Lake Reveal Catchment and Lake Productivity Changes

A multi-proxy paleolimnological analysis of a sediment core sequence from Lake Malaya Chabyda in Central Yakutia (Eastern Siberia, Russia) was conducted to investigate changes in lake processes, including lake development, sediment and organic carbon accumulation, and changes in primary productivity...

The transition from organic-poor and mostly terrestrial vegetation inputs (TOC/TNatomic ratios ∼20) to conditions dominated by aquatic primary productivity (TOC/TNatomic ratios <15) occurs at around 12.3 cal kBP.
