Summary
Abstract: The European Diatom Database (EDDI) is a web-based information system designed
to enhance the application of diatom analysis to problems of surface water

The East African dataset and North African dataset were harmonized to construct
a unified African data set. Transfer functions were developed from the
subsequent training set for inferring past ... View entire text
