Introduction The list present the diatom species found in GGC6 having a specific ecology and included in the different groups. Diatom groups are based on the temperature and salinity indications reported for each diatom species in the literature. The groups are formed in a way to distinguish the diatoms that only and strictly thrive in a determined environment (fresh water, brackish, warm and cold water diatoms groups) from the diatoms species, which have the ability to adapt to environmental changes: for example, the "warm to temperate diatom group" does not include the diatom species that are only found in warm waters. Abundance and diatom data (species and group) will be available in the PANGAEA database. 1. 2008pa001729-txts01.txt Diatom species found in GGC6 and included in the different groups.
