This work is focused to address our general hypothesis that local diatom communities are responding to direct and catchment-mediated effects of the current atmospheric CO<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0increase, by providing insight into the small scale mechanisms of alkalinity generation. Our specific working hypothesis in this subproject is that the aggregation of such fine scale mechanisms gives rise to mesoscale patterns\/gradients of alkalinity (both in space and time), that are the ecological framework in which local communities evolve. The conceptual basis for this analysis is the Landscape Continuum Model (LCM) applied to high mountain catchments.<\/p>\n<p>Duration: June 2020 &#8211; May 2023<\/p>\n<p>Funding Agency: Ministerio de
