Aquatic plant bryophyte macroalgae clip harvest (DP1.20066.001)

This data product contains the quality-controlled, field sampling metadata and associated taxonomic and biomass data for aquatic plants, bryophytes, and macroalgae. Field samples are collected in wadeable streams, rivers, and lakes, and processed at the domain support facility. Clip harvest samples are collected once per year during the mid-summer aquatic biological sampling bout. Additional presence/absence data are collected in lakes and rivers during bouts 1 and 3 (similar to point transect data for streams). During midsummer sampling, grab samples are collected from a known area, separated by taxon in the domain support facility, identified when possible, and processed for dry mass and ash-free dry mass. Specimens that cannot be identified with certainty are dried, pressed, and sent to an expert taxonomist. For additional details, see the user guide, protocols, and science design listed in the Documentation section in this data product's details webpage.

Latency:
The expected time from data and/or sample collection in the field to data publication is as follows, for each of the data tables (in days) in the downloaded data package. See the Data Product User Guide for more information.
