This study is the first published survey of diatom-environment relationships on sub-AntarcticMacquarie Island. Fifty-eight sites in 50 coastal and inland lakes were sampled for benthic diatoms andwater chemistry. 208 diatom species from 34 genera were identified. Multivariate analyses indicated that...
