variableName: Mg
units: percent
description: Mg in calcite, mol%, 3-core stack
variable: effectivePrecipitation
direction: negative
scope: climate
variableDetail: lakebalance@surface
seasonality: Annual
basis: "Both limnologic and geologic studies of Lake Edward have shown that the %Mg in calcite is negatively correlated with water balance in Lake Edward (Lehman, 2002; Russell et al., 2003b), as is common of carbonates in lakes... These fluctuations are superimposed on a long-term positive trend in %Mg that indicates progressively more arid conditions from 5000 to about 1800 cal year BP, followed by a slight trend toward negative %Mg values indicating wetter climates."
