Over the past several decades the Aral Sea, Dead Sea, Lake Balkhash and other major lakes in Asia have undergone significant changes with regard to their size, water level, chemical composition, and flora and fauna. Most of these changes resulted from the loss of water from tributaries (now used for irrigation farming) or increasing consumption in local industries and households. However, significant human impacts may have begun as early as 2000 years ago. In addition to the three lakes mentioned above, Lake Sevan (Armenia), the Caspian Sea (Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan), Lake Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan), and Lake Lop Nur (China) are discussed as the most prominent examples of changing lake ecosystems. In contrast, an example of an almost pristine lake ecosystem is included with the report on Lake UvsNuur (Mongolia)...For each lake, the book summarizes its origin and early geological history, and reconstructs its natural state and variability on the basis of proxy records from drilled or exposed lake sediments th | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Human impact on biodiversity; Desertification; Ecosystem Changes; Human Impact; Paleolimnology; Saline La | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-42254-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-42256-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-42254-7Series ISSN 2364-6934 Series E-ISSN 2364-8198 | issn_series | 2364-6934 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
