| description | Over the last few decades, climate change in Svalbard (European Arctic) has led to the emergence and growth of periglacial coastal lagoons in the place of retreating glaciers. In these emerging water bodies, new ecosystems are formed, consisting of elements presumably entering the lagoon from the melting glacier, the surrounding tundra water bodies and the coastal ocean. The data presented here were collected from an emerging lagoon in the western region of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, situated between the retreating Eidembreen Glacier and Eidembukta Bay in 2022–2023. The current size of the lagoon area is approximately 6 square kilometers. The sampling was carried out at 26 sites across various sections of the lagoon, spanning from close proximity to the glacier to the furthest point away. The dataset contains the results of bacterioplankton (total cell concentration and carbon biomass), phytoplankton (taxonomic composition, cell size for selected taxa, abundance, biomass and carbon biomass), zooplankton (taxonomic composition, abundance), and environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding. The dataset will be utilized to provide a comprehensive description of the structure of the lagoon ecosystem. It will also facilitate a comparison of its various parts, which vary in terms of their age of origin, i.e., release from the glacier. Additionally, the dataset will aid in the understanding of the intricate interactions between the freshwater and marine elements of the ecosystem. It can be used for comparative analysis of biodiversity assessment using eDNA and traditional microscopy methods in the identification of phyto- and zooplankton. Furthermore, these data can be utilized for environmental monitoring, tracing the temporal shifts and conducting comparative analysis of periglacial lagoons that are emerging in various regions of Svalbard as a result of climate change. |
