The potential of palaeolimnological methods for establishing reference conditions and
restoration targets for lakes has been recognised for some time, and has received renewed …

The juncture between the west–east and north–south contrasting Holocene climatic
domains across the Mediterranean is complex and poorly understood. Diatom analysis of …

Considerable progress has been made using experimental approaches and spatial surveys
to better understand and manage shallow lake ecosystems. Meanwhile, research on the …

We analyzed the depth distributions of benthic diatoms in two adjacent, but hydrologically
distinct subalpine lakes (Lakes Soiernseen, S-Germany). Lake Unterer Soiernsee is affected …

Freshwater bodies, both lotic (canals, rivers) and lentic (lakes and reservoirs), in the tropics
have only rarely been subjected to intense monitoring regimes owing to limited expertise …

In northeastern Siberia, Russia, a 1.2 m sediment core was retrieved and radiocarbon dated
from a small and shallow lake located at the western side of the lower Lena River (N 69° …

Assessment of ecological integrity is the basis for sustainable management of the ecosystem
services lakes provide. Periphyton is used in stream assessment, but lake assessment is …

Recently, there has been an active discussion about the potential and challenges of tracking
past lake-water trophic state using paleolimnological methods. Herein, we present analyses …

A total of 385 species of diatoms were identified in the phytoplankton of 14 small Arctic
tundra water bodies in the vicinity of Tiksi Bay. We found that the species composition of …

Diatoms respond rapidly to eutrophication and diatom-based models for inferring total
phosphorus (TP) have found wide application in palaeolimnology, especially in tracking …
