Chemical composition of modern and pre-acidification sediments in the Tatra Mountain lakes

Abstract

Concentrations of major nutrients (C, N, P) and acid soluble metals (Ca, Mg, K, Al, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) were determined in modern (0-1 cm) and pre-acidification (5-10 cm) sediment layers collected from 37 alpine and 3 forest lakes in the Tatra Mountains
