    Geodetic markers were installed along the main course of the Sélune. Physically marked out in the field, these markers have been located with a high-precision GPS (planimetric and z-precisions are given in the table). Please note that these markers may move slightly with the wetting/drying cycles of mainly clay soils, and their coordinates may be updated if necessary. Geodetic markers can be used as reference points to define a device or a new study area.

    Meteorological observations from weather stations interpolated on a 25x25 km grid, on a daily basis from 1979 to the last calendar year completed, for France. Meteorological observations are freely accessible via OGC SensorThings Standard service : https://frost.geosas.fr/agri4cast/v1.0/ Observed properties : - maximum air temperature (°C), - minimum air temperature (°C), - mean air temperature (°C), - mean daily wind speed at 10m (m/s), - vapour pressure (hPa), - sum of precipitation (mm/day), - potential evapotranspiration from a crop canopy (mm/day), - total global radiation (KJ/m2/day), More informations on Agri4cast Resources Portal : https://agri4cast.jrc.ec.europa.eu/DataPortal/Index.aspx

    As part of the Sélune observatory, pilot stations have been set up along the main course of the Sélune, distributed from upstream to downstream of the hydroelectric dams. Three stations are located in the former reservoirs of the dams, while the other two, known as the reference stations, are outside the area of influence of the former dams (one downstream and the other upstream). At these stations, aquatic biocenoses (including benthic macroinvertebrates, biofilms, macrophytes, etc.) are monitored. At each of these stations, benthic macroinvertebrates (bmi) have been sampled regularly, in spring and autumn, since September 2014 and in accordance with standard NF T 90-333. The fauna inventories obtained after determination can thus be used to calculate biotic indices such as the IBG-DCE and the I2M2. In addition, samples were taken using artificial substrates immersed for 1 month, in order to focus on measuring the ‘dam effect’. The protocol is described in: Piscart C., Moreteau, J.C., Beisel J.N. (2006). Monitoring changes in freshwater macroinvertebrate communities along a salinity gradient using artificial substrates. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment 116: 529-542. This layer gives the results obtained for the IBG-DCE and I2M2 biotic indices with the associated parameters (diversity, variety, etc.), as well as the number of samples taken (‘effort’ column). Finally, the layer contains the output from the ‘ODInvertebres’ diagnostic tool for benthic invertebrates, which aims to identify the most likely anthropogenic pressures causing changes in ecological quality (6 probability values for physico-chemical water quality and 6 others relating to hydromorphology or land use in the catchment area). Reference on ‘ODInvertebres’ : Mondy, C. P., & Usseglio-Polatera P. Using conditional tree forests and life history traits to assess specific risks of stream degradation under multiple pressure scenario. Science of the Total Environment 461 (2013): 750-760. The genus Baetis cited in the fauna lists refers to the genus ‘Baetis lato sensu’ according to the SANDRE nomenclature (Sandre code: 9794). Taxa presenting all of the clearly visible and characteristic morphological criteria enabling them to be accurately identified and in an irreproachable state of conservation are included in the Observatoire Sélune's reference collection. This can be consulted on request (see point of contact).

    Stations for continuous measurement of hydrological, physical, chemical and sediment parameters have been installed on the Sélune river, as part of the scientific program to monitor the leveling of the Sélune dams. Measurements have been taken on at least an hourly basis since 2014 at the latest. Since 2019, these stations have been part of the Sélune Observatory, which is responsible for monitoring environmental parameters (biotic and abiotic). All stations measure turbidity, water level and conductivity. Some stations measure additional physico-chemical parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll concentration. Samples are also taken at upstream (Pont de Virey) and downstream (Pont de Signy) stations, for laboratory chemical analysis. This layer shows the location of flow measurement stations.

    Microbial communities play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems: they are at the base of the food chain (primary production) and participate in the degradation of organic matter. These communities are also known to respond rapidly to environmental changes. Like macro-invertebrates, they can be used as ecological indicators. Benthic diatoms are the main photosynthetic organisms in this biological community. The relative abundance of the various species is used to calculate an environmental quality index (EQI). Major differences in communities between the upstream and downstream zones were observed when the dams were in place. These differences will change once the dams are removed. As part of the Sélune observatory, pilot stations have been set up along the main course of the Sélune, distributed from upstream to downstream of the hydroelectric dams. Three stations are located in the former reservoirs of the dams, while the other two, known as the reference stations, are outside the area of influence of the former dams (one downstream and the other upstream). At these stations, aquatic biocenoses (including benthic macroinvertebrates, biofilms, macrophytes, etc.) are monitored. Since September 2014, the stations are ideally sampled every month from April to October (7 annual surveys) using artificial substrates (glass slides placed in the water). In addition to the diatom survey (floristic list, IBD calculation), the chlorophyll-a concentration is measured. This layer shows the location of the study sectors used to monitor photosynthetic biofilms and the campaigns carried out.

These communities are also known to respond rapidly to environmental changes. Like macro-invertebrates, they can be used as ecological indicators. Benthic diatoms are the main photosynthetic organisms in this biological community. The relative abundance of the different species is used to calculate an environmental quality index (EQI). Major differences in communities between the upstream and downstream zones were observed when the dams were in place. These differences will change once the dams are removed.

In addition to the diatom survey (floristic list, IBD calculation), the chlorophyll-a concentration is measured. During each campaign, an INRAe experimental sampling protocol is implemented. This protocol involves the immersion (1 month) of glass slides, an in situ measurement of the chlorophyll-a concentration via BentoTorch and then the collection of the biofilm on these glass slides. The biofilm is conditioned in (1) 99.9% ethanol to determine IBDs and floristic lists (outsourced service, based on standard NF T90-354) and (2) mineral water to measure chlorophyll-a concentration using a spectrometer. NB: the year 2023 is not covered in terms of measuring chlorophyll-a concentration via spectrometry due to a problem with the low-temperature storage of samples. This dataset provides measurements of the average daily concentration of chlorophyll-a and pheopigment in µg/cm2/day.
