species (taxonomic group) per site database including environmental information
data type:
point data/observation data
short description of the dataset/summary:
The Midden-Limburg pond dataset contains data on local habitat conditions and taxonomic community composition of multiple aquatic organism groups (phytoplankton, zooplankton, aquatic vegetation, macro-invertebrates and fish) from 38 interconnected fish ponds in the fish pond complex Midden-Limburg (Limburg, Belgium). The selection of fish ponds represents five different pond management types.
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.

comments:
Ephemeropterans, Hemiptera and Mollusca were identified to species level. Determination of Diptera was done up to family level. Other organisms were only sorted to higher taxomic levels and counted (Acari and Hirudinea to subclass, Trichoptera and Lepidoptera to order).
