Holocene Biodiversity Changes in Lake Sidi Ali: Subfossil Records of Chironomidae, further Invertebrates and Aquatic Macrophytes – A Dataset

DOI

In a global context, the western Mediterranean in North Africa is one of the most climate-sensitive regions in the world. We present the first Holocene-wide records of subfossil Chironomidae from Morocco. The core was collected from Lake Sidi Ali in the Middle Atlas Mountains (Morocco). The data table provides information on the abundance and percentage of Chironomidae and other macroinvertebrates preserved in the lake sediments.
