Summary

Malheur Lake is a shallow, freshwater lake in southeastern Oregon. This data release includes phytoplankton data from three sites located in Malheur Lake collected from 8/8/2018 to 8/11/2020. For each sample collected, the phytoplankton were reported to the lowest taxonomic unit. Phytoplankton biovolume, algal cell concentration, and algal biomass concentration are included. All phytoplankton data were generated by PhycoTech, Inc. The dataset includes two comma-separated values (.csv) files and metadata. The first CSV file includes all of the taxonomic, biovolume, and density information. The second CSV file includes the 111 unique taxa identified.

Purpose

USGS has partnered with High Desert Partnership and US Fish and Wildlife Service to intensively study water quality in Malheur Lake during ice-free periods from 2017-2020. These data were collected to determine the types and concentrations of phytoplankton at three sites within the lake. In 2019 and 2020, the three sites were sampled every other week for 20 weeks in summer to determine temporal changes. All information published in this data release was generated by PhycoTech, Inc.
