species (taxonomic group) per site database including environmental information
data type:
point data/observation data
short description of the dataset/summary:
The Tommelen dataset contains data from bomb crater pools (n=23) at Tommelen nature reserve (Hasselt, Belgium) (122 pools in an area of 12 ha). These ponds have been sampled annually from 2007 until 2012. A subset of the investigated ponds has been dredged in winter 2008.
This database comprises biodiversity data on aquatic macro-invertebrates and macrophytes, as well as information on major local environmental variables. Aquatic macro-invertebrates were sampled in 2008 and 2009. Macrophytes data are available for 2007, 2010 and 2012.
The dataset is publicly available (data portal, data archive) and can be used without restrictions, but dataset creator/data contributors must be informed prior to publication. Data must be acknowledged and cited correctly.
