Chironomids were examined as part of a multiproxy palaeolimnological study of Grothusvatn, Sandoy, Faroe Islands. A total of 37 taxa was found in the top 1 m of the core. Chironomid-inferred total phosphorus and temperature reconstructions indicate that after landnam (the Norse settlement period) to...
