Summary
Description
Outdoor pond microcosm studies were conducted as part of regulatory environmental safety submissions, investigating effects of chemicals on communities of freshwater organisms. Physico-chemical properties of the water and macroinvertebrate communities were sampled and enumerated. The data here are the control data from untreated microcosms. The test systems were rectangular varied depth microcosms containing approximately 1300 litres of water over 10cm sediment, stocked with macrophytes and invertebrates.
