The Institute of Hydrology of the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) e.V. operates nine stream water monitoring wells in the Quillow catchment. The wells are located at the neighborhood of Dedelow at the stream Quillow and its tributary Peege. Altitude in meter: between 16 and 73 NN, Geographic latitude: 53,3665 N, Geographic longitude: 13,8030 E. Water samples are collected periodically at different dates in a year and at two wells at different depths. Each sample was analysed in the own hydrochemical laboratory where the parameters pH value, redox potential, electric conductivity, water temperature, oxygen, ammonium, phosphate, total phosphorus, spectral absorption coefficient, biochemical oxygen demand (dark), chloride, bromite, nitrite, sulfate, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcite, total hardness, dissolved organic carbon, total iron were determined.

Dataset provides monthly average air temperature measured from 1994 to 2010 at the Lagdei weather station, which is the closest weather station to Lake Santo Parmense and Lake Scuro Parmense (about 1 km from Lake Santo Parmense and 5 km from Lake Scuro Parmense).

Frequent chemical and physical measurements (two-week-interval all year) of saline lakes and channels - pH, salinity, O2, temperature, extend of water body, watercolor, zooplankton, bird species and numbers,...

The data set provides information about the relationship between abiotic and biotic environments on the ecosystem scale whereas the extensity is correlated by the intensity of effective factors of structural and functional change. Available data comprise element cycling and water relationships on the one hand and the dynamics of effective concentrations mainly in the soil solution. Supplementary data are values for characterizing ecosystem structures and the related element pools as well as climate.
