North Temperate Lakes LTER: Macrophyte Biomass - Trout Lake 1983 - current

These data are collected to document and characterize the submersed macrophytes of Trout Lake and to evaluate their long-term dynamics and interactions with other compartments of the ecosystem. Four sites along the shoreline of Trout Lake have been sampled annually in August along permanent line transects. This dataset includes biomass per m2 for individual species at three depths along the transect. These data are useful in determining the annual variability of the submersed macrophytes and providing information on the effects of the invasion of an introduced crayfish Sampling Frequency: annually during summer Number of sites: 4
