Results: Results are recalculated centrally for specific ring test needs.  
  As calculation of results is an important part of the whole ring test performance please add EC-values calculated by your own method generally used to the following tabel.
Later comparison of own values with centrally calculated values will give additional unique information on own ring test performance.  
Please calculate growth rate values at least EC50 with confidence intervals and growth rate for the controls.

Participants are encouraged to measure more than two parameters (e. g. frond area and dry weight/chlorophyll)
to provide a better survey on sensitivity even if this is NO part of the ring test necessities.  
For those labs measuring chlorophyll with a method providing not only chlorophyll a values please report
raw data and EC values at least for chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll separately.  
In case of measuring destructive parameter with separate inoculum samples please insert these values in the Results Please do not change any fields here.
