Phytoplankton Biomass and Eutrophication

Description

A data set containing variables for phytoplanton biomass, phosphorous levels, trophic status, and locations (coordinates) of 70 temperate lakes.

Details

The data in this data set are samples from a larger study that compared phytoplankton biomass from temperate lakes in Alberta, Canada, with different levels of eutrophication (Loewen et al., 2020). These data are suitable for considering the spatial non-independence of observations in generalized least squares (GLS) estimation, for the example in the book, Permutational Biometry (Collyer & Adams, 2025).
