This data set contains the benthic macro-invertebrate data from the Cooper and Fuller surveys of Maine lakes, conducted from 1938 to 1944. Other data generated from these surveys cover water quality, fish and plankton. The [...] [ click to read more ]
Study investigated water chemistry, phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos and bacteria of Maine lakes, primarily in the southern part of the State.
Phosphorus (P) is the limiting macronutrient for primary production in most lakes. Seasonal anoxia in the hypolimnion of lakes has been strongly correlated with internal P loading to the water column. Gravimetric sediment cores were [...] [ click to read more ]
