Abstract
These data were collected to address the need for a hydroecological monitoring program, with focus on metals of concern, in the Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD). To do so, we deployed artificial substrate samplers in ~60 lakes for the duration of the ice-free seasons of 2017 and 2018. We assessed the accrued biofilm-sediment mixtures for enrichment of metals of concern above pre-industrial levels determined from analyses of sediment cores in the PAD. We also related metals enrichment to periphytic algae community composition, inferred from diagnostic algal pigments, to explore taxa-specific rates of active biological uptake of metals of concern.
Purpose
This data was collected to address the need for a hydroecological monitoring program, with focus on metals of concern, in the Peace-Athabasca Delta.
