Long-term seasonal development in selected lakes of Northeast Germany
Longterm data (up to 9 years) of 8 lakes situated in Northeastern Germany are provided. Samples were taken monthly on average dividing particle-associated (greater than 5.0um) and free-living (less than 5.0um, greater than 0.2um) microbes in the water column and in two lakes in the sediment. The lakes are all located closely to each other but differ in many physicochemical parameters such as pH and conductivity. Thus, similarities as well as dissimilarities of microbial communities are of high interest. One lake (Lake Tiefwaren) was sampled after phosphate restoration.
