Entry ID: uk_nc_eddi_ALPE

[ Update this Record ]

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
