Project: Can the availability of B-vitamins control phyto-and-bacterioplankton successions in a coastal upwelling region? (B-vitamin plankton succession)


Abstract

This dataset includes chlorophyll-a concentrations and cell counts for picoplankton collected in water samples from the San Pedro Ocean Time-series (SPOT), 2015. They were incubated with six treatments of nitrate and vitamin B.
