Relationship between sedimentary pigments and primary production: evidence from core analyses of twelve Italian lakes

A statistically significant correlation of the type y = ax super(b) between sedimentary plant pigments and contemporary algal primary production has been found in a study of the recent trophic evolution of twelve Italian lakes. The equation is used to assess baseline production levels in periods (50...

Description
Summary:A statistically significant correlation of the type y = ax super(b) between sedimentary plant pigments and contemporary algal primary production has been found in a study of the recent trophic evolution of twelve Italian lakes. The equation is used to assess baseline production levels in periods (50-70 years ago) when human influence was low.
