MFE database: Data from ecosystem ecology research by Jones, Solomon, and collaborators on the ecology and biogeochemistry of lakes and lake organisms in the Upper Midwest, USA

The research focuses on lake ecosystems in the north-central United States, particularly at and near the UNDERC field station in northern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan but also in Indiana and some other locations. Data are available from observational studies, lab experiments, and whole-lake experiments on hydrology; physical and chemical limnology; various components of the food web including phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos, and fish; and other quantities.

Additional datasets in this collection include high-frequency sensor measurements of lake temeperature profiles, dissolved oxygen concentrations, nearby meteorological conditions, and derived estimates of ecosystem metabolism. The complete database is available for download as a SQLite database file. We would appreciate you contacting us if you plan to make use of any of these data in presentations or publications.
