Description

This resource contains data from the phytoplankton and zooplankton community structure, as well as the physical and chemical variables of eighteen ponds sampled in the Brazilian Long-Term Ecological Research project site 4 "Biological Dynamics and Biodiversity Conservation in the Atlantic Forest of the Rio Doce-MG". Sampling occurred quarterly for one year.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Four sampling campaigns were carried out in quarterly intervals: August 2007, November 2007, February 2008 and May 2008. The sampling point was set in the deepest part of each lake. Temperature, electrical conductivity, ph profiles of the water column were obtained with a Horiba U-22 multiparameter probe. The photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was measured between 10:00 and 14:00 h with a Li-Color radiometer with spherical underwater sensor (model LI 193). The scalar attenuation coefficient of the photosynthetically active radiation k0 (m-1) was determined by the slope of the linear regression line between the depth and the natural logarithm of the scalar irradiance.

Sampling

For phytoplankton, samples for qualitative analysis were collected by successive vertical and horizontal throws with a 20-μm mesh plankton net, then fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution. For each qualitative sample (four samples/lake), eight slides were analyzed, for a total of 32 slides per lake. Organisms were identified under light microscopy down to the lowest possible taxonomic level using a specific biblio- graphy: Föster (1969; 1974), Prescott et al. (1975; 1977; 1981; 1982), Komárek & Fott (1983), Sant’Anna (1984), Komárek & Anagnostidis (1989; 1999), Menezes et al. (1995), and Bicudo & Menezes (2006). Samples for quantitative analyses were collected with van Dorn bottles at three depths (100%, 10%, and 1% of incident light, as defined with Secchi disk measurements) and fixed with Lugol’s solution. Quantitative analysis followed the method described by Utermöhl (1958). For zooplankton, quantitative samples were collected filtering 200 liters of lake water through a 68 μm plankton net using a hydraulic pump at three depths (100%, 10%, and 1% of incident light, as defined with Secchi disk measurements) (Cole, 1983). In shallow lakes (depth < 3m) samples were collected at the sub-surface, at the Secchi depth and at 0.5 m from the bottom. All collected samples were immediately transferred into plastic bottles, stained with rose bengal and preserved with 4% neutral formaldehyde solution. The identification of the species was made under a light microscope at 200x to 1000x magnification, referring to the relevant taxonomic literature (e.g. Koste 1978, Koste & Robertson 1983, Reid 1985, Matsumura- Tundisi 1986, Dussart 1987, Segers 1995, Segers & Dumont 1995, Smirnov 1996, Elmoor-Loureiro 1997, Rocha 1998, Gomes-Souza 2008, checked for synonyms and redescriptions).
