Abundance, growth rate and grazing mortality rate of major unicellular cyanobacterial diazotrophs taxa in the South China Sea and the Luzon Strait

This dataset contains nifH gene copy numbers, growth rates, and grazing mortality rates of the major unicellular cyanobacterial diazotroph taxa (UCYN-A1, -A2/3/4, -B and -C), and growth rates and grazing mortality rates of total phytoplankton community (inferred by chlorophyll a) in the South China Sea and the Luzon Strait. The associated physicochemical factors including temperature, salinity, nitrate+nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, and chlorophyll a are also available in this dataset. All these data were collected during a research cruise (Cruise No. kk1801) aboard the R/V Tan Kah Kee in early February 2018. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
