Methods
All data refer to the total counts over the water column of the lake per date. The file with environmental variables includes average values over the water column and also the CV = coefficient of variation over the water column (see Pomati et al. 2012). data report biovolume levels per taxon (ug / L) instead of abundance Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = Biovolume
