Surface-sediment and epilithic diatom pH calibration sets for remote European mountain lakes (AL : PE Project) and their comparison with the Surface Waters Acidification Programme (SWAP) calibration set
A modern diatom-pH calibration data-set consisting of surface-sediment diatom assemblages from 118 lakes and 530 taxa is presented. The AL:PE data-set is from high-altitude or high-latitude lakes in the Alps, Norway, Svalbard, Kola Peninsula, UK, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Portugal, and Spain (pH r...
