Biogenic silica Methodology Carbonaceous oxygen demand Methodology Chlorophyll a Methodology Conductivity Methodology Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) Methodology Dissolved oxygen (O2) Methodology Dissolved Silica Methodology Kjeldahl nitrogen Methodology Nitrate (NO3-) Methodology Nitrite (NO2-) Methodology Orthophosphate (o-PO43-) Methodology pH Methodology Phaeopigments Methodology Saturated oxygen Methodology Suspended particulate matter (SPM) Methodology Total organic carbon (TOC) Methodology Total phosphorus (P) Methodology Turbidity Methodology Water temperature Methodology Ammonium (NH4+): Segmented Flow Analyser (Skalar San) Ammonium (NH4+): Segmented Flow Analyser (Skalar San) Biogenic silica: Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP-OES) from Thermo Scientific iCAP 6300 DUO. Carbonaceous oxygen demand: Dilution with oxygen rich water, added an inhibitor (allylthioureum) to surpress nitrification. 5 days incubations. Measurement of oxygen before and after incubation. Chlorophyll a: Organic plant material is removed from the water by filtration over a glass fibre filter. Pigments are extracted from the algal cells with acetone 90% and then estimated spectrophotometrically at 750, 664/665, 645, 630 and 480 nm. Conductivity: in-field measurement with WTW multiparameter instrument Dissolved organic carbon (DOC): Colorimetric with Skalar San+ Dissolved oxygen (O2): in-field measurement with WTW multiparameter instrument Dissolved Silica: Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP-OES) from Thermo Scientific iCAP 6300 DUO.

Saturated oxygen: in-field measurement with WTW multiparameter instrument Suspended particulate matter (SPM): lab measurement by filtration of 3x50 ml on a Whatmann GF/F 0.7 µm filter Total organic carbon (TOC): Lab measurement by filtration of 3x50 ml on a Whatmann GF/F 0.7 µm filter. Incenaration of filter for 4h at 550°C (LOI). Total phosphorus (P): Segmented Flow Analyser (Skalar San) Turbidity: in-field measurement with nephelometer Water temperature: in-field measurement with WTW multiparameter instrument Contributors
