| lake | lake | Lake name | Nominal |
| stationid | stationid | Unique ID for location of sampling; could be more than one per lake | Nominal |
| device | device | Device used to collect phytoplankton samples | Nominal |
| integrated_y_n | integrated_y_n | is the sample integrated over depth range? yes or no | Nominal |
| mesh_um | mesh_um | mesh size in microns; use NaN if device is not net | Interval Unit: micrometer |

| genus | genus | genus of phyto_name; if not applicable, use NaN | Nominal |
| MFG | MFG | morpho-functional group classification | Nominal |
| CSR | CSR | competitive, stress-tolerant, or ruderal strategist classification | Nominal |
