Water chemistry of LTER-Europe research site Lake Paione Inferiore LTER_EU_IT_088 (1984-2013)

This dataset provides long-term data of important water chemical parameters for Lake Paione Inferiore LTER_EU_IT_088: pH, Total alkalinity, conductivity, total nitrogen, major cations (calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium), major anions (sulphate, nitrate, chloride) and silica for the period 1984-2013. Lake Paione Inferiore (LPI) is a high altitude Alpine lake, located at 2002 m a.s.l. in the Bognanco Valley, Province of Verbania, Piedmont Region, Italy. It has a surface area of 0.86 ha and a maximum depth of 13.5 m. The Lake, together with Lake Paione Superiore (LPS), is included in the monitoring sites of the UN-ECE Program ICP WATERS (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Acidification of Rivers and Lakes) for which the CNR Water Research Institute is the National Focal Centre for Italy. This dataset includes the following files: Metadata LTER_EU_IT_088.xls and per each parameter one xls file with data records. Dataset for water chemistry of LPI for the period 2014-2020 is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10519349 Detailed description of the site LPI is available at https://deims.org/c128d2f9-beb0-45ba-89bb-df9e12f95b0f
