Water chemistry of LTER-Europe research site Lake Paione Inferiore LTER_EU_IT_088 (2014-2020)

Description

This dataset provides information about water chemical parameters for Lake Paione Inferiore LTER_EU_IT_088: pH, Total alkalinity, conductivity, total nitrogen, major cations (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium), major anions (sulphate, nitrate, chloride) and silica for the period 2014-2020.

Lake Paione Inferiore (LPI) is a high altitude Alpine lake, located at 2002 m a.s.l. in the Bognanco Valley, Province of Verbania, Piedmont Region, Italy. It has a surface area of 0.86 ha and a maximum depth of 13.5 m. The Lake, together with Lake Paione Superiore (LPS), is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes) for which the CNR Water Research Institute is the National Focal Centre for Italy.

This dataset includes the following files: Metadata LTER_EU_IT_088.xls and per each parameter one xls file with data records.  Dataset for the period 1984-2013 is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7642499.

Detailed description of the site LPI is available at https://deims.org/c128d2f9-beb0-45ba-89bb-df9e12f95b0f

Notes (English)

The data collection was partly supported by the Italian Ministry for the Environment through the ICP Waters Programme. To whom is interested in data of Lake Paione Superiore LTER_EU_IT_089, we have published data of chemical parameters under DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10519126.

The lake surveys and the data collection were funded by a 2-year cooperation agreement between the Italian Ministry for Ecological Transition (MiTE) and Carabinieri - CUFA (Command of Forestry, environmental and Agri-food Units; formerly National Forest Service) for the development of the Italian monitoring network under the NEC Directive (NEC Italy).
