Holocene environmental change at Groenvlei, Knysna, South Africa : evidence from diatoms

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study demonstrates that diatom analysis of lake sediment can provide very detailed information on long and short term climate change, hampered only by inconsistent sediment accumulation at Groenvlei. Further work may provide insight to periods which were not covered in this study.
