Pond Productivity - Prince Edward Island

Pond Productivity - Prince Edward Island PEI National Park samples Chlorophyll-a to measure aquatic productivity in four freshwater ponds. The sampling is carried out on an hourly basis between May-October each year using YSI sonde data loggers. In PEINP, all freshwater ponds are shallow (maximum depth is 4.5 m) and non-stratifying. Chlorophyll-a is used to assess primary productivity in freshwater ponds at PEI National Park. Annual Chlorophyll-a results are compared against existing levels established for clear and turbid state ponds. 2024-04-18 Parks Canada Paul.giroux@canada.ca Nature and EnvironmentPEI National Parkchlorophyll aproductivitytemperaturepondprimary productivitydata loggers Freshwater Productivity - Prince Edward IslandCSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/14020ea8-07bd-4cec-aab2-4b63cffc3be4/resource/90d81450-4055-44ec-9ddc-a6b3e567048c/download/peinp_-freshwater-productivity-2014-2019.csv
