Throw trap and Electrofishing Data from Water Conservation Area 3B, Florida, USA, 2019-2022 for the Decompartmentalization Physical Model Project

This dataset includes densities and biomass of fishes and macroinvertebrates collected using throw traps or an airboat-mounted electrofisher in the study region of the Decompartmentalization Physical Model (DPM) located in Water Conservation Area (WCA) 3B. Some sites in this region experienced seasonal increases in water flow due to the operations of the S-152 structure. The sites sampled for this dataset were either located along a gradient of water flow (downstream the S-152) or were in a reference area that had ambient flow conditions. The purpose of this dataset was to quantify community responses of consumers groups to flowing water and how it may interact with local nutrient conditions at the site level. Hydrological, floc nutrient and periphyton volume data used in the analyses are included. This data package includes the R script that was used to run the statistical models for the manuscript titled "Discharge and nutrients interact to determine trophic structure in a wetland: evidence from a landscape-scale manipulation". The data collection for this data package is complete.
