Diatoms from Modern Lake Sediments of Lake Lebedinoe (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, West Siberian Arctic, Russia)

Arctic reservoirs are excellent indicators of the ongoing increase in air temperature on the planet. The West Siberian Arctic, especially its northern part, is poorly studied algologically. The aim of this work was to study the taxonomic composition of diatoms in modern sediments of Lake Lebedinoe (YNAD, West Siberian Arctic, Russia). 18 sediment samples were processed in the range from 1 to 36 cm. As a result 60 taxa of diatoms were identified in modern bottom sediments of the Lake Lebedinoe.
