Description   Keith E. Camburn (au); Donald F. Charles (au) Diatoms, in addition to being important components of aquatic ecosystems, are valuable ecological indicators. In lakes, diatoms accrue in sediments over time, providing a lasting record of response to changing environmental conditions. Data from analysis of this record can be used to address a variety of environmental issues, including lake acidification, eutrophication & climate change. Successful use of diatoms to assess ecological conditions requires that taxa be identified correctly & that their ecological characteristics be known. This pub. aims to provide information to help meet both objectives. It contains photomicrographs & ecological data for diatom taxa found in sediment samples collected from 116 lakes in the Adirondack Park, northern N.Y. Because many of these diatom taxa are relatively widespread, however, the taxonomic & ecological information is applicable to low-alkalinity lakes throughout the NE U.S. & SE Canada. This pub. documents the taxonomy used by diatomists in the PIRLA project (Paleoecological Investigation of Recent Lake Acidification), & also provides taxonomic guidance & ecological data for future studies of low-alkalinity lakes. 37 plates.
