Description

Narragansett bay time series of phytoplakton abundances

Usage

1

Format

a dataframe with 1841 observations and 166 variables

Columns:

location = sampling location

station = station name

date = date of the sampling in Date format

column 4 to 1666 = species abundances in cell.mL-1. The species latin name is given by the column name.

Details

Methods: Samples collected at Narragansett Bay, RI, US "Station II", Latitude 41° 34' 2" Longitude 71° 23' 4" and counted live 1-3 hours after collection. Whole-water (unconcentrated) counts done with a Sedgwick-Rafter cell at 250X and 500X magnification, phase contrast optics. Entire chamber counted for 1 cell /mL detection level. UNITS ARE CELLS /mL. Phytoplankton species names reflect those used in the early 2000s, and have not been updated to current taxonomy.
