- Summary
- We collected baseline biological, chemical and physical data from 45 shallow coastal New Zealand lakes (<10 m depth and usually within 25 km of the coastline) for evaluation as potential indicators of lake ecological integrity (EI). The 45 lakes of this study are geographically representative of the ~900 shallow coastal lakes in New Zealand, and the large and complex data set assembled here provides unique, detailed information about of a group of lakes that have received very little attention in the past.
