Phytoplankton data collected in the Lago Maggiore, Italy, in 2002.
Phytoplankton composition and size distribution in the Lago Maggiore (Italy) was analysed in detail measuring the main morphological parameters of the algal cells. This data set allowed to evaluate the morphological plasticity of many species across the seasonal succession.

Method Step
- Description
- Calculation of surface area, volume and measurements of GALD were done each time for all the species, collecting about 28.000 data, using the equations provided by Sun & Liu (2003) and Hillebrand et al. (1999).
Sampling
- Sampling Description
- Samples were collected during the 2002. Samples were gathered fortnightly from March until October, monthly in January, November and December, at the station of Ghiffa, corresponding to the deepest point of the lake.

Attribute List
Attribute
- Name
- cataloguenumber
- Label
- Definition
- An identifier (preferably unique) for the record within the data set or collection.
Attribute
- Name
- scientificname
- Label
- Definition
- The full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. When forming part of an Identification, this should be the name in lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined. This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the IdentificationQualifier term.
Attribute
- Name
- locality
- Label
- Definition
- The specific description of the place. This term may contain information modified from the original to correct per ceived errors or standardize the description.
Attribute
- Name
- shape
- Label
- Definition
- The approximate 3 dimensional shape of a cell, described as one or more geometric solids.
Attribute
- Name
- surfacearea
- Label
- Definition
- Total surface area of a single cell or colony. It is determined by obtaining critical cell measurements or cell dimensions (e.g, length, width) for each single cell or colony, after association of geometric shape to the real shape of the organism (square micrometers).
Attribute
- Name
- biovolume
- Label
- Definition
- Total volume of a single cell or colony. It is calculated according to the geometric equations, after association of geometric shape to the real shape of the organism and measurements of linear dimensions (e.g., length, width, height) for each single cell or colony (cubic micrometers).
Attribute
- Name
- GALD
- Label
- Definition
- Greatest axial linear dimension.
Attribute
- Name
- organismquantitytype
- Label
- Definition
- The type of quantification system used for the quantity of organisms.
