The geochemical investigation of sediments deposited in the Renuka Lake basin and its adjoining wetland has shown variation
in the distribution and concentration of major, trace and REEs. The major elements are depleted in the lake in relation to
wetland and that of Post Archaean Australian, Shale (PAAS), except for CaO which is strikingly in excess and has a dilution
effect on SiO2 and other oxides and trace elements. The Wetland sediments, on the other hand, are enriched in Al2O3, Fe2O3, K2O and TiO2 and the latter three show a positive correlation with Al2O3 in both wetland and lake sediments suggesting their association with phyllosilicates and similar source rocks. The enrichment
of Y, Zr, Ni, Th, U and Nb in wetland compared to lake and their similarity with PAAS in the former, suggests more clay fractions
in the wetland. A high Zr/Hf ratio in wetland and lake sediments and a positive correlation of Zr with Y and HREE indicate
Zr control on HREEs. However, higher Zr/Yb and Zr/Th ratios in wetland compared to lake indicate mineral sorting during the
process of lighter particles (clays) being trapped in wetland soil. This is also reflected from negative correlation of GdN/YbN with Al2O3 and a strong positive correlation with SiO2 in wetland sediments. The wetland in this context has a control on lake sediment chemistry. The chondrite normalized REE
patterns are essentially the same for lake as well as wetland sediments but abundance decreases in the former. The similarity
of pattern with that of PAAS and negative Eu anomaly indicates a cratonic source of sediments. In a plot of the individual
samples, wetland samples cluster while lake samples are separated indicating fractionation of lake sediments. A strong positive
correlation of LaN/YbN with Al2O3 and a positive correlation of Zr-∑LREE and Zr-LaN/YbN suggest that LREEs are controlled by both phyllosilicates and zircon. The chemical index of alteration (CIA) indices in lake
sediments and in wetland are higher than PAAS indicating moderate chemical weathering in the source area. The petrography,
lack of felsic magmatic rock fragments, and negative correlation between Zr-(Gd/Yb)C indicate sedimentary source rocks for the detritus. This is in conformity with the Lesser Himalayan sedimentary sequence
belonging to neo-Proterozoic–Proterozoic age and constituting lake catchment of Renuka. The tectonic delineation and discriminant
function plots of lake and wetland sediments indicate their cratonic and/or quartzose sedimentary orogenic terrain source
that has been deposited in a passive margin setting. 相似文献

Investigation of biogeochemistry and amino acids on a 30-m-long core from Mansar Lake has thrown light on palaeoclimate variability
during the Holocene period. The C/N ratio between 6 and 10 with some deviations and δ13C mostly between −20 and −22‰ in the
shallow core, as well as a C/N ratio greater than 13 reaching from 19 to 20 and correspondingly lower δ13C of –28‰ in the
deeper core suggest an aquatic source of carbon in the former and a cellulose-rich land plant source in the latter. This is
supported by the abrupt increase in organic carbon content in the deeper core compared to the shallow core, which indicates
a hot and wet climatic regime during the early Holocene and dry and cold during the late Holocene period. The amino acid data
AA-C/C% and AA-N/N% are higher in shallow sediments compared to deeper sediments, indicating an aquatic plant source in the
shallow core and greater supply of land plant sources in the deeper core. The lower percentage of the non-protein amino acids
β-alanine (ALA) and γ-amino-butyric acid in the shallow core compared to the deeper core indicates different sources of organic
matter in the lake basin. The higher amino acid ratio Asp/β-Ala (16.99 av.) and Glu/γ-Aba (18.18 av.) in the shallow core
and lower ratios (10.32 and 12.41 av.) in the deeper core, and Asp/Glu (1.52 av.) and β-Ala/γ-Aba (1.61 av.) ratios in the
former, which are potential indicators of the nature of the organic matter, are higher in the shallow core relative to the
deeper core (1.33 and 1.23 av.), indicating relative biodegradation of organic matter in deeper sediments. It has been observed
that the organic matter associated with the dry season is relatively less biodegraded, as evidenced from their higher ratios,
and is more biodegraded in the wet season as their ratios are lower in the river sediments. In the absence of a bacterial
contribution of organic matter from the soil source in this lake, since Mansar Lake is a non-drainage type, it is envisaged
that the climatic variation may be responsible for biodegradation in the deeper core sediments. Therefore, the C/N ratio and
δ13C values supported by amino acid data, the latter being significant in revealing primary productivity and a terrestrial
source of organic matter, suggest a hot and wet climatic regime during the early Holocene (ca. 7580 bp) and a dry and cold in the late Holocene period (ca. 4050 bp). 相似文献
