Sedimentary data were compared with geochemical signatures of potential OM sources from Laguna Potrok Aike and its catchment area to identify the sources of sedimentary OM. Correlation patterns between isotopic data and TOC/TN ratios allowed differentiation of five distinct phases with different OM composition. Before 8470 calibrated C-14 years before present (cal. yrs BP) and after 7400 cal. yrs BP, isotopic and organo-geochemical fingerprints indicate that the sediments of Laguna Potrok Aike consist predominantly of soil and diatom OM with varying admixtures of cyanobacterial and aquatic macrophyte OM. For a short phase of the early Holocene (ca. 8470-7400 cal. yrs BP), however, extremely high input of soil OM is implied by isotopic fingerprints. Previous seismic and geochronological results indicate a severe lake-level drop of 33 m below present-day shortly before 6590 cal. yrs BP. It is suggested that this lake level drop was accompanied by increased erosion of shore banks and channel incision enhancing soil OM deposition in the lake basin. Thus, isotopic data can be linked to hydrological variations at Laguna Potrok Aike and allow a more precise dating of this extremely low lake level. An isotopic mixing model was used including four different sources (soil, cyanobacteria, diatom and aquatic macrophyte OM) to model OM variations and the model results were compared with quantitative microfossil data. 000006425 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK407$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aTerrestrische Umwelt$$cP24$$x0 000006425 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aStable isotopes 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aRock Eval analyses 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aOrganic matter 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aSoil erosion 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aIsotope mixing model 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aSouth America 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aLate Quaternary 000006425 65320 $$2Author$$aLake sediments 000006425 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000006425 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)129567$$aLücke, A.$$b1$$uFZJ 000006425 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMaidana, N.
