short description of the dataset/summary:
The database of the ORCA project (A comparative analysis of ORganic and Conventional Agriculture's impact on aquatic biodiversity) comprises species occurrence data of different organism groups (zooplankton, macro-invertebrates, macrophytes, amphibians (eDNA) and fish (eDNA)) and data on physical, chemical and morphometric variables of 48 small farmland ponds distributed over Flanders, Belgium.

short description of the dataset/summary (original/national language):
De database van het ORCA project (een vergelijkende studie naar de impact van biologische en conventionele landbouw op aquatische biodiversiteit) omvat gegevens over het voorkomen van soorten in verschillende groepen organismen (zoöplankton, macro-invertebraten, macrofyten, amfibieën (eDNA) en vissen (eDNA)) en gegevens over fysische, chemische en morfometrische variabelen van 48 kleine in het landbouwareaal gesitueerde vijvers verspreid over Vlaanderen, België.
