Scaled-chrysophyte assemblage changes in the sediment records of lakes recovering from marked acidification and metal contamination near Wawa, Ontario, Canada

A remarkable example of point-source lake acidification and metal pollution, and subsequent recovery in limnological variables, has occurred in lakes near the former iron sintering plant at Wawa (Ontario, Canada). Surface water pH levels in some of these lakes have increased from 3 to 7 following lo...
