Aquatic Plant Survey, Loon Lake, Vilas County Wisconsin from 2013-2025

Aquatic plants were collected during the collection of benthic macroinvertebrates from Loon Lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin, from 2013-2025. Non-vascular plants were collected from 2013-2016. Plants were sorted by type onto weighed coffee filters and dried for twenty-four hours. From 2017-2025 vascular plants were included. Replicate samples were collected annually in July using an Ekman Dredge georeferenced sampling locations. Sampling sites were selected to represent dominant plant communities, including Myriophyllum tenellum at 3 ft depth, Isoetes echinospora at 8 ft, and Nitella spp. at 15 ft. The dataset reflects long-term community changes and supports long‑term ecological and lake‑management analyses.2013年至2025年间，研究团队在从威斯康星州维拉斯县（Vilas County）伦湖（Loon Lake）采集底栖大型无脊椎动物的过程中同步采集水生植物样本。2013年至2016年仅采集非维管植物。采集所得的植物将按类群分拣至已称重的咖啡滤纸中，干燥24小时。2017年至2025年的采样中加入了维管植物样本。每年7月使用埃克曼采泥器（Ekman Dredge）采集重复样本，并对所有采样点位进行地理定位标注。采样点位的选取覆盖该湖的优势植物群落，包括水深3英尺处的细叶狐尾藻（Myriophyllum tenellum）、水深8英尺处的多刺水韭（Isoetes echinospora），以及水深15英尺处的轮藻属（Nitella spp.）物种。该数据集记录了长期的水生植物群落动态变化，可支撑长期生态学研究与湖泊管理相关分析。
