Riverscale distribution of zooplankton in the St. Lawrence River in relation to hydrological networks, hydroperiods and local environmental gradients

We studied the community structure of crustacean zooplankton along the biogeographical zones of the St. Lawrence River (Québec, Canada), to evaluate how the riverscale hydrological network formed by water masses, and local-scale aquatic environment, influenced the distribution of zooplankton during the spring (high discharge) and summer (low discharge) hydroperiods. R code for all data analysis will be available in R format via GitHub. A direct URL will be provided once this has been uploaded.

All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions. Citation: Taranu, Z.E., Legendre, P., Cusson, E. et al.

Supplemental Information

The St. Lawrence Action Plan (SLAP) 2011 to 2026 (see http://planstlaurent.qc.ca/en/home.html) is the latest Canada-Quebec Agreement on the St. Lawrence and builds on the four previous agreements implemented since 1988.

The agreement aims to conserve and enhance the St. Lawrence. It is based on strong collaboration and the pooling of resources and expertise between the governments of Canada and Quebec. As part of their respective responsibilities for the management of the St. Lawrence basin, these two governments recognize the need for close cooperation to tackle the environmental challenges facing this important ecosystem. Other partners are also joining in this initiative, including local organizations, environmental groups, research centres, and universities.
