Long term monitoring data from Loch Leven, Scotland
A wide range of data have been collected from Loch Leven, a large shallow lake in Scotland, since monitoring began in 1968. These include chemical, biological and physical variables. These data have been collected by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, including its predecessor bodies, and its collaborative partners.

- Access llm-inferred
- Licence: Non-Open government licence (per entry metadata). No authentication listed.
Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Long-term baseline water quality context for Loch Leven or similar shallow lake assessments · Phosphorus and chlorophyll trend analysis for nutrient management or lake restoration appraisal · Historic diatom and zooplankton baselines for ecological condition assessment · Water clarity and temperature reference data for lake modelling inputs
- Audience llm-inferred
- hydrologists · ecologists · water quality scientists · environmental consultants · limnologists
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- Non-Open government licence; reuse terms need checking before use in client deliverables · Single lake site, so not transferable to other water bodies without justification · Several component datasets (waterfowl, diatoms, zooplankton, 1985-2007 chemistry) end in 2007, leaving gaps in recent records · Data is split across many per-year and per-topic datasets, so time series need assembling · No API or machine-readable access is described in the entry
