Abstract
Ostracode fossil analyses of the upper 6.6 m of the Salines core (SE-Spain), and six 14C AMS dates provide an outline of the Late-Glacial and Holocene ecological evolution of an arid Mediterranean environment. Lake Salines has undergone significant changes in its hydrological regime and chemistry, which are highly dependent on climate. After a long hypersaline phase, which corresponds to the Upper Pleniglacial and Late-glacial periods, the lake records climate oscillations of the entire Holocene. During the last 10,000 years two major dry crises occurred, one at 8,500 yr BP and another between 7,000 and about 3,000 yr BP.
