. Sample values (plotted as filled bars) of the first correspondence analysis (CA) axis (76.5% of the variance) on the 55 samples that were analysed with respect to the 10 variables (note that mineral matter includes diatom silica) plotted below (non-filled bars), related to both depth and time. The strength of the variables is shown in the same scale as the sample strength. High positive CA-values in the bar plot for S-ratio and 13Corg relate to low negative values and high negative per mil values, respectively. The CA zonation to the right of the 1st axis plot is based on the first two axes (87.6% of the variance). The CA zonation is also compared to subdivisions obtained from diatom and pollen assemblages, mineral magnetic properties and lithologic facies description. The latter is divided into the five main facies association units (full lines) and subunits (dashed lines). Note that the statistic values are related to a linear depth scale, which e.g. means that the first lake lowering (275-255 cm) with its high sedimentation rate is more gradually displayed, while the second one at 158-120 cm is very abrupt. Also note the gradual lake development and the oscillating pattern in the lower part.
