ponds, occurrences, environment, Belgium
data type:
point data/observation data
short description of the dataset/summary:
The De Maten pond dataset contains data on local pond conditions and taxonomic community composition of phytoplankton, zooplankton, macro-invertebrates and fish from 34 interconnected fish ponds in the "De Maten" nature reserve (Limburg, Belgium).
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.
