Biogenic silica, lithology and elemental composition of piston sediment core Lake850-Core2-2019 from Lake 850, Sweden

Dataset includes depth and ¹⁴C based age-depth model of core from Lake 850 taken in March 2019. Biogenic silica, density, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen content (%N) and calcium carbonate content (CaCO₃) were measured by weak-alkaline extraction, by constraining volume and weight of wet and dry bulk sediment sample and by elemental analyzed COSTECH, respectively. Further, stable carbon isotopes (d¹³C) were measured by Elemental Analyzer connected to a MAT-252 mass spectrometer at Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot.
