Diatoms in lake sediments are used in paleoclimate reconstructions, particularly in treeless areas such as arctic and alpine regions. Some diatom species in the Aulacoseira group are often thought to bloom as lakes turnover (i.e., mix), suggesting links between these taxa and ice-out conditions. We...
