Chironomid Assemblage Data from Lake Tisza, 2009-2022

Chironomid assemblage data collected from Lake Tisza between 2009 and 2022. The dataset was created by Eduárd I. Csépes to study the effects of hydrological extremes and climatic factors on these aquatic insect communities. It includes data on environmental variables, discharge, and climatic factors over a 14-year period.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of summer floods on chironomid diversity based on the described assemblage changes.
• Analyzing long-term oligotrophication trends as a driver of community structure based on the described main driver.
• Assessing the recovery rate of insect diversity after extreme weather events based on the described rapid recovery.
• Investigating the indirect effects of environmental variables on aquatic community composition based on the described closer link.

Strengths

• Data spans a 14-year time series from 2009 to 2022.
• Includes measurements related to environmental variables, discharge, and climatic factors as described.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is small at 222.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
