In past decades they  have been successfully used to reconstruct changes in water bodies  evoked by changes in salinity, acidification and eutrophication. In  the last few years diatom-inferred predictions of environmental  variables have become much more quantitative.\u003cbr\u003e  In the most recent research reports the strong separation between  palaeolimnological and neolimnological diatom research is fading, as  palaeolimnologists are increasingly using modern calibration sets to  infer past states of the environment. This quantitative approach is  also very suitable for prediction of future changes in the biota of  surface waters. Also ecological changes due to climatic modification  have been investigated more thoroughly recently. A very important new  research topic is the occurrence of toxic diatoms, particularly along  the coasts of North America. These proceedings are intended to be a  balanced view of such modern developments in diatom research. They  should also be of interest to non-specialists in diatoms, who can use  the results of diatom research as a tool in a more general taxonomic,  ecological and geological context. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792324843\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3622-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 540\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311851196556,"sku":"9780792324843","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792324843.jpg?v=1771513208","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792324843","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
