Diatoms are one of the major phytoplankton groups blooming in cold and nutrient-rich regions. They are sensitive to minute changes in environmental parameters (e.g. temperature, salinity etc.) therefore are widely used to study Quaternary oceanographic and climatic evolution (Leventer et al., 2010;...
