摘要
SUMMARY. Comparisons of pre‐ and post‐settlement diatom assemblages from the sediment of twenty‐five Minnesota lakes reveals that Stephanodiscus hantzschii percentages are more consistent indicators of human disturbance than the Araphidineae/Centrales (A/C) index. In a set of eighty surface sediment samples from lakes whose water chemistry is known, S. hantzschii, a centric diatom, is abundant as a microfossil in lakes with total phosphorus > 15 μg I−1 and alkalinity > 1.5 m‐equiv. I−1. High Araphidineae/Centrales indices are characteristic of lakes with only moderate total phosphorus levels and very low alkalinities. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
