Features: "Methods for Observing Lake Ecosystems" is one of the series of field experiment station (platform) observation methods. This book is based on some methods from "Lake Ecological Survey Observation and Analysis," and references Japan, Germany, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS), the UK's Environmental Change Network (ECN), the International Long-Term Ecological Research Network (ILTER), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) data to determine the observation indicator system for field research stations (experimental stations) of lake ecosystems. The content includes sampling; lake environmental surveys; meteorological and radiation observations; physicochemical properties of water determination; lake sediment analysis; determination of the standing stock of major aquatic organisms; measurement of biological productivity; investigation of the natural geography and socioeconomic conditions of the basin; and the preparation of effective digit tables for lake observation and monitoring data, as well as various observation and monitoring record forms.
