The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the second Unified Field Study (UFS-2), performed April to May 2014, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for the algal strain Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 as a function of different regional, and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production process and protocols, system scale, and algae strain.

The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the fifth Unified Field Study (UFS-5), performed December 2014 to March 2015, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for two algal strains (Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 and Chlorella vulgaris LRB-AZ-1201) as a function of different regional, and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production process and protocols, system scale, and algae strain. This experiment also compared the effect on productivity of three harvests per week with multiple dilution rates vs. one harvest per week with one dilution rate.

The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the third Unified Field Study (UFS-3), performed June to September 2014, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for two different algal strains (Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 and Chlorella vulgaris LRB-AZ-1201) as a function of different regional, and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production process and protocols, system scale, and algae strain. In UFS-3 we compared the effect on productivity of three harvests per week with multiple dilution rates vs. one harvest per week with one dilution rate using both algal strains.

The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the sixth Unified Field Study (UFS-6), performed March to June 2015, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 and Chlorella vulgaris LRB-AZ-1201 as a function of different regional and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production processes, and protocols. The UFS-6 Experiment consisted of two parts. First, a direct comparison of two dilution rates (0.11 and 0.214 per day) with Chlorella vulgaris LRB-AZ-1201 was performed followed by experimentation on optimal nitrogen sources for Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32.

The goal of the fourth Unified Field Study (UFS-4), performed September to December 2014, was to generate a robust inter-testbed dataset in algal biomass and lipid productivity and yield for two algal strains (Nannochloropsis oceanica KA32 and Chlorella vulgaris LRB-AZ-1201) as a function of different regional, and environmental conditions among sites by controlling non-geographical-related variables including production systems, production process and protocols, system scale, and algae strain.

The Unified Field Studies (UFS), established by the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), produced data on the effect of environmental and process conditions on algal growth rates and algal composition. The goal of the seventh Unified Field Study (UFS-7), performed June to July 2015, was to provide baseline dilution rate/strain performance evaluation for this new strain (C046). The UFS-7 Experiment was a direct comparison of two dilution rates (0.11 and 0.214 per day) with the algal species Desmodesmus intermedius C046.

ATP3 Unified Field Study DataThe Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership ATP3 was established with the goal of investigating open pond algae cultivation across different geographic climatic seasonal and operational conditions while setting the benchmark for quality data collection analysis and dissemination. Identical algae cultivation systems and data analysis methodologies were established at testbed sites across the continental United States and Hawaii. Within this framework the Unified Field Studies UFS were designed to characterize the cultivation of different algal strains during all 4 seasons across this testbed network. The dataset presented here is the complete curated climatic cultivation harvest and biomass composition data for each season at each site. These data enable others to do in-depth cultivation harvest techno-economic life cycle resource and predictive growth modeling analysis as well as develop crop protection strategies for the nascent algae industry.NREL Sub award Number DE-AC36-08-GO28308

The objective of the DISCOVR consortia is to develop an integrated algae strain screening platform for the discovery of high-productivity and resilient strains of algae that can be cultivated outdoors year-round via crop rotation. The data includes annual weather data, algae cultivation composition data, and pond water chemistry data between 2018 and 2021. This year-over-year cultivation data provides the underlying data in direct support of the annual State of Technology (SOT) analysis effort. These field experimental data and SOT reports are of interest to the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energys (EERE) Bioenergy Technologies office (BETO) in understanding current best algae agronomic practices in demonstrating progress towards future algae biomass productivity goals as outlined in the BETO Multi-Year Program Plan.

This dataset records Cladophora and associated benthic algae, collectively Cladophora community or submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), biomass collected during the growing season of 2022 at stations located along the U.S. shoreline of Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. It also records a variety of supporting data collected at Cladophora measurement stations. These supporting data include: - seasonal time series of light, currents, wave action, temperature, specific conductivity, turbidity, pH, phycocyanin, chlorophyll, and dissolved oxygen from moored sensors at a subset of stations; - measurements of Secchi disk depth and water chemistry; - water column profiles of PAR, temperature, specific conductivity, turbidity, pH, phycocyanin, chlorophyll, and dissolved oxygen; - diver observations of SAV, dreissenid mussels, round goby abundance, and substrate properties; - measurements of dreissenid mussel abundance and size class distribution coincident with SAV biomass; - nutrient content of SAV, dreissenid mussels, and sediments; - and information about sampling locations and operations. Similar data were collected at several of the same transects within four Great Lakes in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 are available at (2018) https://doi.org/10.5066/P9E570JS, (2019) https://doi.org/10.5066/P99O4QXB, (2020) https://doi.org/10.5066/P9O9FSTT, and (2021) https://doi.org/10.5066/P9449EUF.
