Diatom-Inferred Changes in Effective Moisture From Gall Lake, Northwestern, Ontario, Over the Past Two Millennia
… assess the susceptibility of lakes to climate in northwestern Ontario over the past two millennia, sediment cores from a headwater lake were obtained from near-shore cores to reconstruct changes in drought. The cores were located at a depth where changes in pelagic and benthic diatom assemblages …
