Abstract
⺠The environmental information provided by diatoms and mollusks in the semiarid Pampas is compared. ⺠Ten shallow lakes were sampled for diatoms, mollusks and water quality variables. ⺠The highest percentage variance in diatom data was explained by hardness, conductivity, and mud. ⺠Mollusk variability was significantly related to conductivity, hardness, and vegetation cover. ⺠Shallow lakes from semiarid pampas are potential archives of paleoclimatic variations.
