  • This data package is formatted as an ecocomDP (Ecological Community Data Pattern). For more information on ecocomDP see https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP. This Level 1 data package was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-ntl/14/32. The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context:

    This is a summary of dataset NTL 13. Derived data include the mean and standard deviation of the number of each species captured as well as the mean and standard deviation of the density of individuals on both an areal and volumetric basis. Five vertical tows are done at the deepest point of each of the seven primary lakes in the Trout Lake area (Allequash, Big Muskellunge, Crystal, Sparkling, and Trout lakes and bog lakes 27-02 [Crystal Bog], and 12-15 [Trout Bog]) using a 1-mm mesh net with a 1-m wide mouth. On Trout Lake four additional sites are sampled, where depths are approximately at 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, and 25 m respectively, with three tows done at each site. Trout Lake was the only lake sampled in 2020. All samples are taken in darkness. Samples are preserved and counted, yielding numbers caught. These night tows target the large invertebrate planktivore component of the pelagic zooplankton community. Sampling Frequency: annually Number of sites: 11
