Summary
Abstract: The ALPE diatom-pH calibration data-set consists of surface-sediment diatom
assemblages from 118 lakes and contains 530 taxa. The ALPE training set is from
high-altitude or high-latitude lakes in the Alps, Norway, Svalbard, Kola
Peninsula, UK, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. Gravity or
piston corers were used to collect surface-sediment samples of 0.25 or 0.5 cm
thickness, usually ... View entire text
