AQUACOSM
This wiki is currently under construction by the H2020 AQUACOSM and H2020 AQUACOSM-plus consortiums. Further information on these projects can be found at AQUACOSM Project Website. International aquatic mesocosm facilities can be found at International Mesocosms Website.
Data Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) that describes the methods for data quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC).
High Frequency Monitoring
Methods for measuring temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration and saturation, conductivity, underwater light (PAR), pH, turbidity, depth, Chl-a, flow rate, light spectrum and nitrogen data.
Microbial Plankton
Describes methods and gathers best practice advices for sampling, enumeration and other relevant analyses of microbial communities.
Periphyton
Periphyton are the algae, fungi, bacteria, and protozoa associated with substrates in aquatic environments. These organisms are a major component in energy flow and nutrient cycling in aquatic ecosystems.
Phytoplankton
Methods for sampling and analysis of phytoplankton from mesocosm experiments carried out in all aquatic environments.
Water Chemistry
Methods for sampling and storing samples for the analysis of water chemistry from mesocosm experiments carried out in all aquatic environments.
Zooplankton
Methods for sampling and analysis of mesozooplankton from mesocosm experiments carried out in all aquatic environments.
