Popis: Human activities impose significant changes on sedimentation processes and vegetation cover within lake catchments. However, the needed time for an anthropogenically disturbed natural state to be reversed back to its natural state by environmental protection programs is still ambiguous. Here we employ a multi-proxy approach to delineate major environmental disturbances such as logging and forest fires on the catchment in Cueifong Lake, a subtropical subalpine lake in northeastern Taiwan.
