Lake Baikal Biomass (Decal Change)
Investigating Climate Change-Driven Regime Shifts
By [source]
About this dataset
This remarkable dataset offers a unique glimpse into the complex relationship between climate change and aquatic ecosystems. Decadal changes in epischurella biomass and diatom biomass in Lake Baikal, one of the world's most iconic bodies of water, are explored over a 48 year period. This dataset provides us with an incredible opportunity to investigate how various regimes shifts may be driven by climate change within an aquatic environment, allowing us to better understand these dynamic processes. By uncovering trends that emerge from this datasest, we can gain invaluable insight into potential long-term environmental impacts that may be caused by global warming

How to use the dataset
Welcome to the exploration of decadal changes in diatom and Epischurella biomass in Lake Baikal between. This dataset provides valuable insights into how environmental factors such as climate change can lead to drastic changes in aquatic ecosystems.
Using this dataset, you can gain a better understanding of the effects of climate change on Lake Baikal's unique environment by studying the long-term changes taking place over time.
These data are represented through various columns that each provide a different aspect of information about the state of Lake Baikal during each decade. The Date column indicates when within each decade a particular observation takes place, while year represents which decade the observation occurs within. The diatom_biovol and Epibiosum columns give us insight into how much biomass is present for both diatoms and Epischurella species present in the lake at any given point throughout these decades.
In addition to analyzing individual columns, comparisons between them can be made to look for potential correlations between these two vital sources of aquatic life over time. It is up to you to explore how these data may interact with one another and what implications they may have for our current understanding of environmental change!
Research Ideas
- Use this dataset to create a predictive model that can be used to forecast future changes in Diatom and Epischurella Biomass due to climate change.
- Analyze this dataset for trends over time and identify species of Diatoms and Epischurella's most impacted by climate change.
- Utilize data visualization techniques on the dataset in order to compare the decadal changes of Diatoms and Epischurellas with trends in other aquatic organisms over the same timespan in order to quantify how climate change has impacted Lake Baikal's ecosystems as a whole, rather than looking at them individually
