Description
Abundance of phytoplankton species and related environmental parameters for 57 stations in the Southern Bight of the North Sea between January 1971 and June 1973. The data were digitized from technical reports in the frame of the 4DEMON project. more

Dataset on densities of phytoplankton species and corresponding environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, nutrients, oxygen and some metals) for 57 stations in the North Sea between 23 January 1971 and 28 June 1973. A total of 786 samples were taken from different depths. Additional information (count of living or dead cells) is given.
