| Title in original language | PONDERFUL integrated Pan-European pond database |
| Original language | English |
| Abstract | The integrated Pan-European pond database has been compiled from multiple published and unpublished datasets that have been collected by several research teams over the period of the last 25 years. The database includes information on zooplankton community composition (Cladocera, Copepoda, Rotifera, Ostracoda and Anostraca), and local environmental pond conditions (number of variables > 60) from a total of 1346 ponds located in 10 European countries. Additional information, including data on surrounding land use, is available for the majority of ponds, but assessments are less standardized across datasets. A subset of ponds (n=365) has data from repeated sampling events (within and/or across years). |
