This dataset contains biological, physical, and survey - biological data collected in the Baltic Sea, Bay of Fundy, Caribbean Sea, Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia, Coral Sea, English Channel, Great Australian Bight, Gulf of California, Gulf of Mexico, Indian Ocean, Inland Sea (Seto Naikai), Japan Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Mediterranean Sea - Western Basin, New York Bight, North Atlantic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Northwestern Passages, Norwegian Sea, Persian Gulf (Gulf of Iran), Philippine Sea, Skagerrak, South Atlantic Ocean, South China Sea (Nan Hai), South Pacific Ocean, Southern Ocean, Tasman Sea, Timor Sea, Tyrrhenian Sea, and Yellow Sea (Hwang Hai) on 2021-02-04. These data include family, genus, growth, order, phylum, species, taxon, taxon_code, and water temperature. These data were collected by Tatiana A. Rynearson of University of Rhode Island as part of the "Dimensions: Collaborative Research: Genetic, functional and phylogenetic diversity determines marine phytoplankton community responses to changing temperature and nutrients (Phytoplankton Community Responses)" project and "Dimensions of Biodiversity (Dimensions of Biodiversity)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-02-09.

PFT Thermal Response - Modeled thermal traits

Dataset Description:
Phytoplankton thermal traits were estimated for diatoms (n=135), dinoflagellates (n=46), coccolithophores (n=30), and cyanobacteria (n=32). This dataset contains estimated traits and parameters presented in Thomas et al (2012) as well as those for 59 additional strains (Anderson et al, in review). Study selection followed the criteria outlined in Thomas et al (2012) and Anderson et al (in review).

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Thermal reaction norms were used to describe phytoplankton thermal responses following the equation presented in Thomas et al. (2012). For strains compiled previously, parameters for thermal reaction norms were provided (Thomas et al 2012 & 2016). For added strains, parameters were estimated using the thermal growth rates found in the related dataset, https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/839696 , and the maximum likelihood approach described in Thomas et al. (2012) and the bbmle package in R 3.6.1 (2019) .

Traits were then estimated for each strain using their respective thermal reaction norms, as outlined previously (Thomas et al. 2012 & 2016; Anderson and Rynearson, 2020). This included the thermal optima (T opt ), thermal maxima (T max ) and thermal niche width. The thermal maxima were quality controlled according to Thomas et al. (2016) to ensure validity.
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
