Sub-fossil crustacean zooplankton relative abundances from 101 lakes across Canada

Identification at the species, genus, or species complex level followed Szeroczynska and Sarmaja-Korjonen (2007) and Korosi and Smol (2012a; b). Sites are identified with Lake ID number, followed by “T” for top samples and “B” for bottom samples. Lakes IDs with respective locations (longitude and latitude coordinates) and Continental Basin allocations can be found here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4701262 References Korhola, A., and M.
