During the last few years, lake acidification has become a topic of
international interest because of the detrimental effects of this
problem on lake ecosystems. The stratigraphic record of diatoms and
other paleoindicators in lake sediments has been used increasingly
to document past limnological conditions. Because many diatom taxa
are sensitive indicators of lakewater pH, this approach is
especially useful in assessing impacts of atmospheric pollutants
and watershed land use on lake pH. The idea that a book be prepared
on this subject originated at a workshop entitled 'Reconstructing
pH from sedimentary diatom remains - recent insights and update on
methods' organized by R.B. Davis and held at the XXII Congress of
the International Association of Limnology at Lyon, France in
August 1983. At this workshop, presentations were made by many of
the authors in this volume. The rapid progress in this field was
evident when a second workshop, this time organized by R.W.
Battarbee and R.J. Flower, was held one year later at the VII
International Symposium on Diatoms at Paris, France. Many
individuals helped with the preparation of this volume, most
notable were our referees, who thoughtfully reviewed the
manuscripts and suggested many improvements. I would also like to
thank my colleagues at Queen's University who helped in innumerable
ways over the last two years. A special word of gratitude is due to
Dr. M.M. Boucherle, Dr. S.R. Brown, Ms. T.C. Oliver, and Mr. P.R.
Leavitt. J.
