Abstract

This dataset includes compiled plankton size spectra from 5 different projects: California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecological Research (CCE LTER) process cruises, Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) cruises, Costa Rica Dome Fluxes Zinc and Iron Experiments (CRD FluZIE), Gulf of Mexico Bluefin Larvae in Oligotrophic Ocean Foodwebs, Investigations of Nutrients to Zooplankton (BLOOFINZ-GoM), and Salp Particle expOrt and Ocean Production (SalpPOOP) spanning 2004 to 2018. Biomass was determined using ...
