Holocene carbon fluxes and palaeoproductivity in aquatic ecosystems: a multiproxy, palaeolimnological approach

Inland waters act as an important control on the global carbon cycle. Deep tectonic lakes may provide a key link between short‐term and long‐term carbon cycles as buried carbon is essentially locked away from the atmosphere over geological timescales. Here we investigate Holocene carbon dynamics in one of the world’s most important lake ecosystems, Lake Baikal, Siberia
