| Description | |
| Summary | This database contains long term data on phytoplankton from studies in the northern Black Sea. Data were collected in the framework of different projects. Samples were collected from the surface layer of the Black Sea. In addition special detailed studies were conducted for vertical structure research of phytoplankton. The database includes 50 cruises, 1000 stations, 2600 samples and 64000 species entries. The database comprises data on phytoplankton species composition, abundance, biomass and carbon content (calculated). Surface water samples and vertical series. |
