Sedimentary diatom analyses from the Turkey Lakes watershed, Ontario / by L.D. Delorme ... [et al.].: En13-5/86-71E-PDF
"Four lakes north of Sault Ste. Marie, collectively known as the Turkey Lakes, show little impact by atmospheric loading. This assessment has been arrived at by using fossil algae, diatoms, to infer past acidity or pH trends. These lakes have been considered to be in the early stages of acidification. The fossil diatoms from the headwater lake, Batchawana Lake, may show an increase in the acidity near the surface of sediments implying an increase in acidity in recent times. The fossil diatoms from the lower lakes indicate the lake waters have been adequately buffered in the recent past. This low level buffering capacity has been sufficient to counteract acidified atmospheric loading"--Management Perspective.
