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
