Rising chloride concentrations can impact lake ecology and ecosystem services such as fisheries and the use of lakes as drinking water sources. To analyze the spatial extent and magnitude of increasing chloride concentrations in freshwater lakes, we amassed a database of 529 lakes in Europe and North America that had greater than or equal to ten years of chloride data. For each lake, we calculated climate statistics of mean annual total precipitation and mean monthly air temperatures from gridded global datasets. We also quantified land cover metrics, including road density and impervious surface, in buffer zones of 100 to 1,500 m surrounding the perimeter of each lake. This database represents the largest global collection of lake chloride data. We hope that long term water quality measurements in areas outside Europe and North America can be added to the database as they become available in the future. 4 Published version http //www.scopus.com/record/display.url eid=2 s2.0 85027101318 origin=inward Long term chloride concentrations in North American and European freshwater lakes pdf sdata2017101.pdf Articolo in rivista Nature Publishing Group 2052 4463 Scientific data Scientific data Scientific data michela.rogora ROGORA MICHELA |
