LOUGHDOO (Lough Doo, DOO) * Latitude: 54.050210 * Longitude: -9.096010 * Elevation: 20.0 m * Lake water depth: 8 m * Method/Device: Mackereth corer (MACC) * Comment: EPD: Local vegetation: Fraximus, Salix, Sorbus, Crataegus, Prunus. Location: centre of lake. O'Connel Data: Lough Doo, Co. Mayo (700 m east of Attymass). 3 m Mackereth corer (pneumatic corer provided by Dr Alan Hamilton, Uni of Ulster (Coleraine); see Mackereth (1958). Max. depth, ca. 13 m, towards eastern side of lake. Core taken in ca. 8 cm of water close to middle of lake. Date of lake coring: 1981 (summer).
Comment:
Analyst: Michael O'Connell and Fraser J.G. Mitchell
Laboratory: Palaeoenvironmental Research Unit, NUI Galway, Galway, Ireland
Data analysis completed: 1982, 1985
Sampling in field: 3 m Mackereth corer (pneumatic corer provided by Dr Alan Hamilton, Uni of Ulster (Coleraine); see Mackereth (1958). Max. depth, ca. 13 m, towards eastern side of lake. Core taken in ca. 8 cm of water close to middle of lake.
Date of lake coring: 1981 (summer). Length of core: 3 m (incl. most of Holocene).
Pollen sampling detail: sampling density <= 4 cm intervals. Depths cited in m, with respect to the top of core (uppermost - most recent sediment probably not retrieved).
Pollen preparation: Lycopodium tablets (Stockmarr) added; acetolysis, mounted in glycerine. Cereal-type pollen differentiated using Beug (1961) criteria (37 um taken as cutoff point; this differs from PRU practice in later years when 40 µm was taken as the cut off size). Pollen nomenclature generally follows Moore et al. 1991. <1 = recorded outside the pollen counts. Myrica not distinguished. Included in Corylus/Myrica.
