Access data
Availability: Unrestricted after moratorium period
Data are initially restricted, but the access condition relaxes to academic or unrestricted once a specified period of time after an event (such as collection, publication, completion of QC procedures or project cessation) has elapsed

Description
Collection of datasets on phytoplankton sampled as part of the "Project Sea" research activities. The data are digitized from technical reports in the frame of the 4DEMON project. more

The dataset contains information on phytoplankton samples taken in the framework of "Project Sea" (1970-1976), the first Belgian marine research program in the Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS). Datasets provide information on phytoplankton abundance and primary production measurements.

Following laboratories participated in "Projekt Zee" Phytoplankton :

* Laboratorium voor Ekologie en Systematiek (VUB)

* Laboratoire d'Océanologie (ULB)

* Unité d'Océanologie et d'Anatomie comparée (ULB)

* Laboratorium voor Fyto-hydrobiologie / Algologie (KUL)

* RBINS
