New publication describing the SITES AquaNet infrastructure!




SITES AquaNet offers:
- openness to the scientific community
- the possibility to use natural lake communities for experiments
- the possibility to conduct and participate in modularized experiments across time and space
- high frequency sensor systems
- expert support by our technical staff and
- access to data from the accompanying monitoring programme SITES Water.
To test the infrastructure we conducted a modularized experiment along the latitudinal gradient offered by the five lakes included in SITES AquaNet. More specifically, we manipulated a press disturbance (light reduction) and a pulse disturbance (temporary presence of fish in the mesocosms). With this we could demonstrate the suitability of the infrastructure and autonomous sensor system to host modularized experiments and provide a good example of the power and advantages of such experiments.

- Read more about the lakes in SITES AquaNet and SITES Water.
- Data from the experiment can be downloaded from the SITES Data Portal.
