Title in original language Table gathering the measures realised on the 8 PONDERFUL DEMO-sites
Original language English
Abstract Table gathering the measures realised on the eight PONDERFUL DEMO-sites. It includes the descriptions of the 20 pondscapes, with measurements of the water quality, of the ponds and pondscape morphometry, and of a selection of NCPs (biodiversity, climate regulation, water quality and quantity, regulation of hazards, physical and psychological experience, etc.). There are a total of about 100 indicators/metrics, but all have not been measured on all pondscapes. A selection of this information has been used for producing a user-friendly leaflet for each pondscape (publicly available in this data portal). The full database is only provided after request, as the data it contains was not all gathered by standardised methods.

Lineage The data have been collected with various methods and sometime with an heterogeneous sampling intensity (number of ponds, number of measures; e.g. for biodiversity). All metrics are intended for qualitative description of the pondscape, to be weighted, and several are therefore not suitable for statistical analysis.
