Anthropogenic and natural footprints of climate change and environmental degradation in the Honnamanakere Lake, Western Ghats, southern India during the past 753 years

Abstract: Anthropogenic contamination is damaging the fragile Western Ghats making it necessary to understand the historical pollution. Radiocarbon dated sediment core covering the past 753 years is investigated to reconstruct the paleoclimate and paleotoxicity in Honnamanakere Lake, southern India. Increased sedimentation, weathering, organic carbon, and clay fraction during the medieval and modern warm periods indicate stronger southwest monsoon rainfall than during the little ice age. A decrease in silt content at th… Show more
