Zooplankton across Space and Time (ZooST)

Jason Stockwell (University of Vermont), Stephanie Figary, and others in GLEON

The GLEON Zooplankton as Indicators Group works closely with another GLEON working group, ZooST, which was formed in October 2020. This project is using existing zooplankton data to test the reproducibility of different Space-for-Time-substitutions in large multi-lake “snapshot” surveys (e.g., USEPA National Lakes Assessments) by testing if similar regional results would occur if the lakes were sampled at different times over the growing season.
