Method Step

Description
The study was performed using leaf packs of Phragmites australis and was carried out at 12 sampling stations. The fieldwork was carried out over a year from spring 1997 to spring 1998 and data were collected at two times from the start of the experiments in each season (30 days and 90 days of submersion reported in the dataset as "measurementremarks"). Phragmites australis leaves were cut into 10-cm-long fragments and oven-dried to constant weight (60 °C for 72 h) and then lots of 5.0 ± 0.1 g dry weight were placed in 5 mm mesh bags. 24 leaf packs were submersed at each sampling station and for each season, 12 were collected after 30 days and 12 after 90 days.

Method Step

Description
The leaf packs were retrieved from the study sites and placed in a plastic bag, sealed and returned to the laboratory in an insulated cool box. The leaf material was carefully washed in flowing water and sieved in an 800 micrometer mesh size sieve in order to remove both organic and inorganic sediments and benthic macroinvertebrates. All animals were identified to the genus and family level, counted, and their body mass determined.

Sampling

Study Extent

The sampling design was as follows: 4 seasons, 2 sampling times for season, 12 sampling stations and 24 leaf packs for sampling station.
