Algae Growth in Recycled Cultivation Water: Data from 86 Studies

Information and extracted data from 86 previously published studies on algae growth in recycled cultivation water. The dataset was compiled by Sarah Loftus and Zachary Johnson for a cross-study analysis published in Algal Research in 2017. It includes a data extraction protocol describing all variables and their measurement methods.

Use Cases

• Meta-analysis of factors affecting algae cultivation based on aggregated study results.
• Modeling algae growth performance in recycled water systems based on extracted experimental parameters.
• Identifying research gaps in algae cultivation by analyzing variables across 86 studies.

Strengths

• Data is aggregated from 86 previously published studies, providing a broad evidence base.
• Includes a documented data extraction protocol describing variables and measurement methods.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent from the provided metadata; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
