The phytolith sheet contains the number of counted phytoliths per morphotype (shape) category at each analysed depth and the diatom sheet contains the number of diatoms counted per species and depth. The isotope sheet contains both elemental data (C and N) and isotope data (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) which was analysed at every 10th centimeter. This data was originally published in a Master thesis: Sjöström, J. (2013).
