Using novel palaeolimnological techniques to define lake conservation objectives for three Cheshire meres

This is the final report to Natural England on the project „Using novel palaeolimnological techniques to define lake conservation objectives for three Cheshire meres‟: Melchett Mere, Tatton Mere and Comber Mere. The aim is to use existing and recently developed palaeoecological techniques to define reference conditions and assess the condition of selected Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) in the Cheshire meres, and thereby assist in the setting of conservation objectives and management goals
