Data from: Centennial-long trends of lake browning show major effect of afforestation

Sulfur deposition and sulfate concentrationEstimated total deposition of S for Lake Skärshultsjön, including wet, dry and sea salt, and estimated sulfate concentration in the same lake. Data modeled as in Moldan, F., B J. Cosby, and R. F. Wright. 2013. Modeling past and future acidification of Swedish Lakes. Ambio 42: 577-586. doi:10.1007/s13280-012-0360-8 and provided by Swedish Environment InstituteWater color between yearsWater color for 50 lakes in the years 1935, 1982 and 2015 given in mg Pt/L.Long-term water color in 18 lakesLake names, years and water color in mg Pt/L for 18 lakes.Land-use and climate variablesSpruce coverage in percent, based on sediment pollen records from Lake Fiolen. The modeling of vegetation coverage is assumed to be representative for an area with a 500-kilometer radius from the lake. 10-running means of growing degree days, i.e. number of days each year where average temperature was above 5°C, in Jönköping. 10-year running means of discharge from Lake Allgunnen.
