THE DATABASE

The Ecological Stoichiometry Cooperative (ESC) is aiming to address the need for a comprehensive stoichiometry database by building a new database called Stoichiometric Traits of Organisms In their Chemical Habitats (STOICH). The construction of this database is one of the main objectives of the ES Cooperative’s NSF-funded STOICH project.

The ESC aims to encourage community member contributions to the STOICH database. With each contribution, the breadth of this database will increase, as well as its value to scientists who use it. We are excited for the STOICH project to assist our community in addressing stoichiometric questions regarding ecosystems, communities, organisms, and evolution.

The first edition on the STOICH database, Limno-STOICH, is now published! The data are available from EDI at https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?packageid=edi.2231.2 and the accompanying data article has been published at Limnology & Oceanography: Letters and is available here https://doi.org/10.1002/lol2.70105 or pdf here. For questions about working with the data, contact data manager cpetersen@unl.edu.

We hope to periodically update Limno-STOICH. The latest version will be available through this website following this link: https://snr-stoich.unl.edu/get_data.htm. Substantial updates will also be contributed to EDI. For questions about contributing data, contact Jessica Corman at jcorman3@unl.edu.
