Limno-STOICH a comprehensive database linking the elemental content of organisms with inland, aquatic habitats (2025-12-11)

The Limnology Stoichiometric Traits of Organisms In their Chemical Habitats (Limno-STOICH) contains >51,000 observations of organismal elemental content fro >3,100 rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other aquatic ecosystem sites on seven continents. The data are derived from 190+ sources including author contributed collections, novel NEON-related data, and published datasets. The database also includes extensive spatial and temporal metadata to link elemental stoichiometry with ecosystem type, trophic status, etc., and information on organismal data (body size, taxonomic classifications, stable isotope composition) and water physicochemical parameters, as available. Users are encouraged to read the associated manuscript (Corman et al.) for further information.
