Relationships between modern surface sediment diatom assemblages and measured water chemistry variables were examined from 30 lakes and ponds on Axel Heiberg Island (Nunavut) in the Canadian High Arctic. Canonical correspondence analysis with forward selection and Monte Carlo permutation tests ident...
