Summary
Samples were collected from Willow Creek Lake approximately monthly during May through September by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality as a part of the Ambient Lake Monitoring Program since at least 1989. Lake samples were analyzed for several constituents, including nutrients and chlorophyll. Though several different station identification numbers have been used over the course of monitoring, the general location of sampling corresponds to the deep site referenced in Rus and others (2018).

These data were analyzed to evaluate nutrient availability, use, cycling and possible biological limitations within the lake. Particular focus was given to nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, the ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus, and nitrogen limitations that may lead to conditions in which nitrogen fixation is advantageous or necessary for the phytoplankton capable of doing so, such as some types of cyanobacteria.
