Title:Cascade Project at North Temperate Lakes LTER – Daily Bloom Data for Whole Lake Experiments 2011 - 2019
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

Daily measurements of algal bloom variables (chlorophyll, phycocyanin fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, and pH) from the surface waters of Paul, Peter, and Tuesday lakes from mid-May to early September for the years 2011 to 2019, excluding 2012 and 2017. In some years, Peter (2013-2015, 2019) and Tuesday (2013-2015) lakes had inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus added to them daily to cause algal blooms while Paul Lake served as an unmanipulated reference.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Nutrients were added to Peter (2013-2015, 2019) and Tuesday (2013-2015) lakes to cause algal blooms. Details on nutrient additions (start/end dates, loading rates, N:P ratios) are described in Buelo et al. 2022 (Ecological Applications, link below), Wilkinson et al. 2018 (Ecological Monographs 88: 188-203), and Pace et al. 2017 (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA 114: 352-357). These publications including supplements should be consulted for details. These lakes have been used for whole-ecosystem experiments over the past decades; see Carpenter and Pace 2018 (Limnology and Oceanography Letters 3(6): 419-427) for an overview.

For chlorophyll-a concentrations, water samples were collected from 0.5m depth daily at the center of each lake. Water samples were filtered in the lab, frozen for at least 24 hours, extracted in methanol, and measured on a fluorometer following methods described in the publications above.

Phycocyanin fluorescence, dissolved oxygen saturation, and pH were measured from a raft at the center of the lake every 5 minutes by automated sensors at a depth of 0.75m. Sensors were calibrated monthly according to manufacturer recommendations. Phycocyanin values are from Hydrolab DS5X data sondes using manufacturer-provided calibration curves and should be interpreted as relative and not exact, physical units. Dissolved oxygen and pH were measured by YSI 6600, Hydrolab DS5X, and YSI EXO3 data sondes. High frequency data were gap filled as described in Wilkinson et al. 2018 (Ecological Monographs 88: 188-203) and averaged to daily measurements.

An R package utilizing these data for the evaluation of early warning statistic methods to predict algal blooms is available on GitHub (https://github.com/cbuelo/tvsews) and archived on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5874868).
