MADS - Marine phytoplankton Citation Availability: Unrestricted The data are freely available to anybody and may be used for any purpose. Usage acknowledgement may be required Description Dataset contains species abundances and volumes of micro-algae and data on chlorophyll a. more Phytoplankton Phytoplankton is monitored as part of the Danish national monitoring programme. Chlorophyll (a) concentration is used as an indirect measure of total phytoplankton biomass in most areas. In addition, at a smaller number of stations, phytoplankton is characterised and quantified (as carbon biomass) from microscopy. Water samples for microscopy are integrated samples representing the top 10m of the water column. Samples are collected using an integrating hose or as discrete samples from several depths mixed prior to analysis.Data Species abundance and volume of micro-algae are avaible, together with Chla data. Information on sampling locations within the Danish national marine monitoring program (NOVA 2003) and download of data can be accessed through the MADS website.
