The primary objective of this project is to use existing and recently developed palaeoecological techniques to define reference conditions and assess the condition of selected SSSIs in England, and thereby to assist in the setting of conservation objectives and management goals. The project is divided into four main tasks. Task 1 involved the collection, processing and dating of cores from the study sites and was reported in Phase 1 (Bennion et al., 2008a). Here, in Phase 2, we describe the results of Tasks 2 and 3 which involve macrofossil analyses of cores from five sites: Aqualate Mere, Over Water, Hornsea Mere, Cunswick Tarn and Sunbiggin Tarn. For the latter two marl lakes, a new method for identifying the charophyte oospores was applied. For Over Water, diatom analysis was also conducted and a diatomphosphorus transfer function was applied to assess changes in water quality. date: 2009-03 date_type: published publisher: UCL Environmental Change Research Centre official_url: https://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/research/research-centres/environmental-change-research-centre oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1065971 lyricists_name: Sayer, Carl lyricists_id: CSAYE52 actors_name: Kalinowski, Damian actors_id: DKALI47 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: ECRC Research Report number: 135 place_of_pub: London, UK pages: 39 issn: 1366-7300 book_title: ECRC Research Report citation: Bennion, H; Rawcliffe, R; Burgess, A; Davidson, T; Sayer, C; Rose, N; (2009) Using novel palaeolimnological techniques to define lake conservation objectives (Phase 2).
