Lake phytoplankton: a temporally dataset
Monthly phytoplankton samples were collected during 2006-2011 to assess temporal variability of phytoplankton assemblages in a man-made pond. Dishui Lake (30°53′N, 121°55′E) is located in Pudong New Area District, southeastern Shanghai, China (Fig. 1a). Detailed field and lab methods can be found in Zhu et al (2013). Eight sampling stations were selected in the lake (Fig. 1b). We measuredin situ environmental variables including water temperature (WT), pH, conductivity (Cond), turbidity, total suspend solids (TSS) and Secchi depth (SD). Total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) were measured according to standard methods.
