摘要	To further investigate the significance of carbon isotopes of lake carbonates in arid areas, we examined the carbon isotopic composition of ostracods, bulk carbonate, fine-grained carbonates, and associated water DIC (dissolved inorganic carbon) from Lake Qinghai and several small lakes and ponds surrounding Lake Qinghai. We obtained three major results. 1) The carbon isotopic compositions of ostracods, bulk carbonate, and fine-grained carbonates in the lakes and ponds are clearly correlated with water delta C-13(DIC) values, which vary with water salinity in the Lake Qinghai area. 2) The variation in the delta C-13(DIC) values of lake water is mainly controlled by CO2 exchanges between the atmosphere and lake waters in the Lake Qinghai area. 3) Ostracods, bulk carbonate and fine-grained carbonates show consistent trends of isotopic composition in the study area, and the differences in carbon isotopic composition between authigenic carbonates and ostracods may be explained by the differences in carbon isotopic composition between the DIC of surface water and that of the water near to the sediment-water interface as well as the 'vital offsets' of ostracods.
