Freshwater Information Platform
L o a d i n g
The FIP provides information on freshwater research resources and tools for the assessment and management of freshwater ecosystems. Existing freshwater datasets are described in the Freshwater Metadatabase and are partly included into the AQUACROSS IP. Go to http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu/metadb/ if you want to learn more about specific datasets. Occurrence data of freshwater species can be found in the Freshwater Biodiversity Data Portal (http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu) and spatial data are presented in the Global Freshwater Biodiversity Atlas (http://atlas.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu).

- This database contains the macro-invertebrate data that were collected during the AQEM and STAR projects. Samples were taken in 14 European countries using the multi-habitat-sampling (MHS) method as well as the RIVPACS methodology for selected sites. Taxa were identified to the most precise achievable level. Additionally the database contains information on hydromorphology and environmental parameters. The latter include stressor gradients along which the samples were taken. Supplementary fish, macrophyte and diatom data from the STAR project are separately available and can be linked to the invertebrate database. The AQEM and STAR projects were funded by the EU 5th Framework Programme (FP5).

- Monitoring data from streams on Lake Vortsjarv catchment area dating back 1996. Measured parameters include hydrochemistry,fishes, macrozoobenthos, macrophytes, benthic diatoms, and background data. An overview is given in Arvi Jarvekylg (Ed.) "Eesti Jõed " (Estonian Rivers) 2001. Tartu Ylikooli Kirjastus. 750 pp. More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - MARS_02 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=MARS_02).1Licence not specifiedover 1 year ago
- Sets of names used for analysis of algal samples in the USGS NAWQA, EPA NARS, and ANSP projects A common set of names is important for maximizing taxonomic consistency among analysts and comparability among datasets. Academy phycologists and collaborators, with support from the USGS, US EPA, and several state agencies, have developed and maintained a set of taxa names for use in agency sponsored projects and elsewhere. The current set of names (2011) has evolved from initial sets over the past 15-20 years. Many phycologists at several institutions have contributed to expanding and updating the names. Much of this work was supported by the USGS and documented in USGS NAWQA Workshop reports. The first set of names, or “taxonomic systems”, was developed in 1994. Names have been updated about every 3 years, typically as part of USGS NAWQA taxonomic workshops.

- The Fish Atlas for Germany and Austria - Digitaler Fishartenatlas von Deutschland und Oesterreich is an initiative of the Gesellschaft fuer Ichtyologie e.V. (GFI). Data were collected from literature survey, species inventories of the federal states, extracts from state fishdatabases and distribution maps from Steinmann and Bless (2004) for species listed in Annex II of the Habitat Directive. Separate distribution maps are available for Germany, the North and Baltic Sea and for Austria. More information can be found on http://www.fischartenatlas.de/.

- The Critical Site Network (CSN) Tool is an online resource for the conservation of 294 species of waterbirds and the important sites upon which they depend in Africa and Western Eurasia. Leading global conservation organisations working for the protection of waterbirds and their habitats joined forces to develop this tool, strengthening the implementation of the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. The tool makes it easy to obtain information on the sites critical for waterbird species by accessing several independent databases and analysing information at the biogeographical population level, so providing a comprehensive basis for management and decision making. It is designed to help a range of different users from site managers to national authorities and international organisations. The CSN Tool, one of the major achievements of the Wings Over Wetlands (WOW) project, is also an important example of the added value of cooperation between likeminded conservation organisations, international conventions and agreements, governments, UN agencies and other donors. The CSN Tool supports both AEWA and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. It is also relevant to the EU Birds Directive and the Bern Convention’s Emerald Network.

- Collated for the purposes of intercalibrating the outputs of the Northern GIG WFD lakes macrophyte classification tools. Includes data from a large number of lakes across the GIG region, provided by the participating countries. Macrophyte data is provided as presence/absence and relevant typological information provided. There is almost no physico-chemical data provided. Note that not all the data from this dataset will be made available to BioFresh science work packages or the data portal.

- The data come from the freshwater invertebrate component of the Environment Agency's national ecology database (BIOSYS) and relate to the aquatic stages of the invertebrates. Most data have been collected from main rivers as part of an extensive routine monitoring network. The data are restricted to a selection of families which contain one species only.
