Abstract

The diatoms of bottom sediment core samples were studied from Lake Balaton. During the 1980s altogether 33 boreholes were drilled into the Quaternary layers down to 10-12 m. This paper presents the diatom flora and vegetation of 17 boreholes based on the legacy of Márta Hajós who spent 16 years working on this subject. The enumeration contains occurrences of 385 diatom taxa. It is hoped that this scientific account will serve as a “diatom databank” and helps better understanding of recent environmental changes in the larger area.
