***General Introduction*** 
This dataset contains data collected during August 2010 at Lugu Lake, southwest China, as part of Xiangdong Yang's National Key Research and Development Program of China project (2016YFA0600502) and Qian Wang s publication.
It is being made public to act as supplementary data for publications of Qian Wang and in order for other researchers to use this data in their own work. 

The data was collected in Lugu Lake, southwest China, between August 2008 and August 2010. 
This research project was made possible by the grants from the National Key Research and Development Program of China (2016YFA0600502) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (41877439, 41502170, 41302277, and 41807446).

***Purpose of the test campaign*** 
The purpose of the study was to investigate the carbon stable isotope composition of zooplankton in a sediment core from a sub-tropical alpine lake in SW China over the last 28 KY. 

***Test equipment*** 
All tests were performed on a Deltaplus mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., West Palm Beach, FL, USA). The identification of cladocerans was conducted by means of an Olympus Microscope system. 

***Description of the data in this data set*** 
The data included the cladoceran stratigraphy and its stable carbon istope, compained with the high-resolution diatom, pollen and geochemical proxies were conducted. The in-lake CO2 concentration over the last 28 KY was inferred from 13C of Bosmina (13CBOS).
