How the Blue Economy affects plankton dynamics in the BPNS: data and scripts

Description in English

This archive contains the input data, R scripts and final results of a mechanistic model that uses near real-time data from the Belgian Part of the North Sea (2011-2017) to investigate the effects of hypothetical mussel aquaculture and offshore wind farm scenarios in the BPNS. This study was performed in the scope of a master thesis for the International Master of Science in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) conducted at Ugent in collaboration with VLIZ. Input data are zooplankton and phytoplankton abundances, nutrients, Sea Surface Temperature (SST), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from the LifeWatch data and infrastructure, funded by Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO). Water temperature data for one of the locations was obtained from Flemish Banks Monitoring Network at https://meetnetvlaamsebanken.be/.
