Quantitative reconstructions from biological proxies have revolutionised palaeolimnology
but the methodology is not without problems. The most important of these result from …

The examination of correlates of diatom community structure has long been centred on local
environmental factors instead of broad-scale biogeographical factors largely because …

Quantitative reconstructions of past environmental conditions (eg, pH) are an important part
of palaeolimnology. Such reconstructions involve three steps:(1) the development of a …

The term eutrophication broadly refers to the enrichment of aquatic systems by inorganic
plant nutrients (Mason, 1991; Wetzel, 2001). Lake eutrophication occurs when nutrient …

Diatomite: its characterization, modifications and application Page 1 Asian Journal of
Materials Science 2 (3): 121-136, 2010 ISSN 1996-3394 © 2010 Knowledgia Review …

Eutrophication is perhaps the most pervasive form of pollution. Here we first review its effects
on lake ecosystems based largely on modern ecological investigation. The longer time scale …

Taihu Lake is the third largest freshwater lake in China and has been experiencing
eutrophication problems for several decades. Diatoms in short sediment cores from three …

Blooms of the stalked diatom Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngbye) M. Schmidt, 1899 have
been increasingly reported worldwide since the 1990s. In 2004, the appearance of blooms …

Fresh water biodiversity is an increasing concern due to growing human impact. Herein, we
report a long-term survey (ca. 90 years) of sedimentary diatoms and the modern flora from …

The seasonality of physical, chemical, and biological water variables is a major
characteristic of temperate, dimictic lakes. Yet, few investigations have considered the …
