Organic components in combined sediment cores (BDP-96 and BDP-98) of BDP-96-1 and -2 (200 m) and BDP-98-1 and -2 (600 m) from Academician Ridge in Lake Baikal, in south-central Siberia, were studied to clarify the biological production, sources of organic matter, and paleoenvironmental changes during the last 12 million years (Myr) in the Eurasian continental interior as well as in the world. Total organic carbon (TOC) contents ranging from 0.13% to 2.8%, with an average of 0.93% (n = 7710), were fairly low, and were similar to those found in some oligotrophic lakes. TOC and total nitrogen (TN) contents had decreased by about half from 12 Myr ago to the present as a result of global climate cooling. Higher biological production periods are mainly attributed to the contribution of vascular plants.
