Data, scripts and model output to perform spatiotemporal analysis of plankton drivers in the Belgian part of the North Sea

This archive contains the input data, R scripts and final results ofa mechanistic model that usesnear real-time data from the Belgian Part of the North Sea (2011-2017)to quantify the relative contributions of the bottom-up and top-down drivers in phytoplankton dynamics. 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 wasobtained from Flemish Banks Monitoring Netwo... Mehr ...
