General information

dataset entry ID:
MARS_06
name of the dataset:
full name of the dataset:
Phytoplankton and other monitoring data from Lake Vansjø
dataset short name:
Vansjø
type of dataset (more information):
species (taxonomic group) per site database including environmental information
data type:
point data/observation data
short description of the dataset/summary:
This paper gives an overview of biological and other environmental monitoring data from Lake Vansjø in the Morsa river basin district, South-East Norway. The lake is impacted by eutrophication and has been subject to several nutrient abatement measures. The dataset comprises phytoplankon data at species level from 2005-2015, and water chemistry data from the period 1980-2015.
The dataset is available online from NIVA's web portal AquaMonitor and will be updated regularly with new monitoring data.
