Four sediment cores were collected at three sites from Pumoyum Co, Southern Tibet. Sedimentation age was constructed by using ~(210)Pb and ~(137)Cs measurements from one short core. Environmental proxies such as total organic carbon, inorganic carbon, grain size and element concentrations were analyzed for upper parts of other three cores. The proxies from different cores were compared and then environmental changes during the last ca. 200 years were discussed. Although proxies changing trends of different cores are similar, obvious differences appear in both detailed variations and proxies values, probably resulting from different water depth, underwater landform conditions and distances to rivers among the sites. Environment condition in this area was stable before 1900AD, but it fluctuated during 1900-1940AD with enhancement of surface erosion and increased sedimentation rate. Remarkable changes took place at about 1940AD, showing that the temperature increased greatly, grain size of sediments became coarser and the lake was in the state of shrinkage, indicating environment in this area changed to a warm/dry state.%在西藏南部普莫雍错不同位置处采集了四支岩芯沉积物,对其中一支利用~(210)pb和~(137)Cs方法建立了沉积物的年代序列,并对其他三支岩芯的上部沉积物进行了总有机碳、无机碳、粒度及化学元素含量的分析.结合沉积物年代,对不同岩芯的环境代用指标进行对比,讨论了该地区近200年来的环境变化状况.结果表明,不同位置处采集的岩芯其环境指标变化趋势在整体上具有一定的可比性,但在细节变化与环境指标的数值上仍具有明显的差异,显示了湖泊内部沉积状况的空间差异性,这可能是由于采样点水深、水下地形以及与主要补给河流距离的不同而造成的.PY04岩芯环境指标显示普莫雍错湖区环境在约1900AD之前较为稳定;在约1900-1940AD之间湖区环境波动加剧,地表侵蚀增强,沉积速率加快;湖区环境在1940AD左右发生了明显的变化,温度显著升高,沉积物粒度增大,湖泊处于退缩状态,表明湖泊环境向暖干化方向发展.
