Water chemistry of LTER-Europe research site Lake Paione Superiore LTER_EU_IT_089 (1984-2013)

This dataset provides information about water chemical parameters for Lake Paione Superiore LTER_EU_IT_089: pH, Total alkalinity, conductivity, total nitrogen, major cations (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium), major anions (sulphate, nitrate, chloride) and silica for the period 1984-2013.

Lake Paione Superiore (LPS) is a high altitude Alpine lake, located at 2269 m a.s.l. in the Bognanco Valley, Province of Verbania, Piedmont Region, Italy. It has a surface area of 0.68 ha and a maximum depth of 11.5 m. The Lake, together with Lake Paione Inferiore (LPI), is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes) for which the CNR Water Research Institute is the National Focal Centre for Italy.

This dataset includes the following files: Metadata LTER_EU_IT_089.xls and per each parameter one xls file with data records.
