Reactive Silica in LTER-Europe research site: Lake Paione Inferiore (1984-2013)

Dataset provides information about reactive silica (in mg Si L-1) in Lake Paione Inferiore (LPI) at different layer depths along the water column within the period 1984-2013. Data are at least biannual (late summer/autumn). In total 279 records of reactive silica in the Lake for the period are uploaded. The range is from 0.065 to 1.39 mg Si L-1 (±0.153).
Lake Paione Inferiore is a high altitude Alpine lake, located in the Bognanco Valley, Province of Verbania, Piedmont Region, Italy. It has a surface area of 0.86 ha and a maximum depth of 13.5 m.
