North Temperate Lakes LTER: Macrophyte Transects - Trout Lake 1982 - current

These data are collected to document and characterize the submersed macrophytes of Trout Lake to evaluate the long-term stability of this component and to interface with investigations of 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 species presence/absence and transect summary data by depth along the transect. This information is 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
