Short summary
Salgada Lagoon is a hypersaline lake investigated for its sedimentation history in order to interpret past climatic events. We studied the geochemistry of sediments from 5800 years ago until the present and found sea level oscillations, different climatic conditions, and proxies for vegetation cover and productivity, which highlight a dry event 4200 years ago that matches a global event of the same age, marking changes to favorable conditions for carbonates microbial mats and stromatolites.
