Diatom-inferred increase in limnetic phosphorus concentration and the associated changes in sedimentary phosphorus fractions in Valkjärvi, a lake in Kärkölä, Finland
A diatom-based total phosphorus (TP) model developed for southern Finland is used to infer past epilimnetic TP concentrations in Valkjärvi, a lake located in Kärkölä, Finland; and the results are compared with sedimentary phosphorus fractions. The diatom-based models accurately predicted epilimnetic...
