Data from mesocosm experiments to assess metal and nutrient stimulation of Lake Erie and Lake Michigan phytoplankton communities, August 2017
To address how phytoplankton in the Great Lakes respond to macro- and micronutrients, we conducted a bottle incubation enrichment experiment using water collected from blooming (Maumee Bay and Fox River) and non-blooming sites (Detroit River and Ford River) in Lakes Erie and Michigan, respectively, during late summer. Surface water from these locations was collected and taken to Kent State University either via overnight shipping (Lake Michigan sites) or driven directly after collection (Lake Erie sites). Chlorophyll a (an index of overall biomass), community composition and toxicity were all measured as responses to treatments of labile inorganic nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and a mixture of micronutrients (chemical symbols: Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Zn).
