Abstract
We present a 2000-year high-resolution diatom record from Bosten Lake (Yanqi Basin, Xinjiang), which is the largest inland freshwater lake in China. Our aims were to investigate the influence of climate change and human activity on its aquatic ecology during the late Holocene. During AD 280–480, a low water level and high salinity occurred, based on the dominance of epipelic and brackish diatoms. In addition, the diatom stratigraphy, combined...
