  abstract = {{A} 12.4 m core collected from the eastern part of {L}ake {B}angong provided a continuous {H}olocene record. {T}his core was analyzed for diatoms, ostracods, charophytes, content in total organic carbon and identification of organic particles contained in the sediments. {T}he record is remarkable for the abundance and diversity of its microorganisms. {A}n oligo- to mesosaline marsh occupied the core site before 9.5 ka {B}.{P}. {B}angong was most likely closed. {A} sudden filling of the lake basin by dilute, nutrient-poor water occurs around 9.4 ka {B}.{P}. {M}aximum lake extent seems to have occurred around 9.4-8.7 ka {B}.{P}. {G}enerally freshwater, relatively deep conditions were maintained up to 6.3 ka {B}.{P}., although interrupted by short-term regressive events between 5.6 and 7.5 ka {B}.{P}. {A} trend towards palustral conditions begins after 6.3 ka {B}.{P}. and the interval 3.9-3.2 ka {B}.{P}., rich in detrital organic material, coincides with an extremely low lake level. {A} last lacustrine episode of minor amplitude is recorded from about 3 to 2 ka {B}.{P}., before the closure of the system leading again to slightly saline conditions. {T}he resemblances and synchronism between environmental changes recorded at {B}angong and in {L}ake {S}umxi, situated 200 km northwards and 800 m higher in elevation, indicate that regional climatic changes have been the major driving factor on ecological and hydrobiological changes in lakes of western {T}ibet.},
