TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper examined plant macrofossils, diatoms, cladocerans, and physical and geochemical proxies in two sediment cores from Lake Liangzi, a large shallow lake located on the Yangtze floodplain in south-east China, in order to assess recent and historical trajectories of ecological and environmental change.

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of subfossil chironomid larval head caspules in a suite of surface sediment samples from a large deep subtropical lake, i.e. Lugu lake, located in southwest China, was analyzed.

TL;DR: Yang et al. as mentioned in this paper used a training set with 90 lakes to develop a diatom-based conductivity transfer function and address climate-driven changes in lakes on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, Tibet.

TL;DR: Reconstructions through time show that positive skew reduces with temporal intensification of human impacts in the lake and surrounding catchments, and rises as lakes recover from disturbance.

TL;DR: In this article, a sediment core was collected from Lugu Lake covering the past 120 years, and detailed chemical, biological (subfossil chironomids), and physical analyses of the lake sediments were undertaken.
