Dataset AbstractEach site's physical characteristics (pH, water depth and temperature) were measured in the field and recorded. Two water samples (filtered and unfiltered) were collected from each throw, along with a floc sample (if present). All samples were taken back to the lab for analysis (e.g. water content, % organic matter, bulk density, and TP/TN/TC).

MethodsSampling Description
Water pH and temperature was recorded using Accumet AD85 meter. Water depth was recorded at three spots using meter stick and averaged. Soil sample was collected adjacent to sampling area using a 5.3cm diameter plastic coring tube; soil depth was taken using ruler. Floc was collected at the 1m squared sampling area using a 5.3cm plastic coring tube; water was drained off and periphyton was removed from the top of the core before the floc was deposited into a plastic whirlpac.
Method Step
Description
Water pH, depth and temperature were recorded for each throw, and water samples (both filtered and unfiltered) and floc samples were collected and analysed in the lab for % organic matter content, bulk density, and TP/TN/TC.

Field data are written in pencil on waterproof paper and photocopied upon return to the laboratory. They are then entered into the appropriate digital format. These data are reviewed in hard copy and digital format by the lab manager. Laboratory data are written in pencil on waterproof paper, photocopied prior to computer entry and then entered digitally in duplicate and cross-referenced to hard copy notes. Data outliers, determined by comparison to long-term variance in that parameter, are highlighted in resulting spreadsheets for examination by the principal investigator, who may discard the values.
