N:P ratio experiment physiology and carbonate chemistry laboratory experiments with Pseudo-nitzschia australis conducted from 2021 to 2022

Abstract

These raw data contain physiological data collected from laboratory experiments with Pseudo-nitzschia australis. This dataset includes replicate data for N:P ratio experiment physiology and carbonate chemistry.

In this 3x2 matrix experiment, we compared each N:P ratio (5, 10, and 50), temperature (13 and 19°C), and total nutrient concentration (high and low) at every combination.

See "Related Datasets" for other physiological measurements published as part of these experiments. See the results publication Kelley et al. (2003) for more detail. The following description provides details for all related physiological measurement datasets.

These physiological measurements include: growth rates, domoic acid quotas, domoic acid production rates, net primary productivity, and nitrogen use efficiencies. Also included are pH and DIC measurement used to characterize the carbonate system.

These data revealed novel insights into P. australis bloom dynamics and may be useful to harmful algal bloom modelers and were collected and analyzed by Kyla Kelly, Amjad Mansour, Chen Liang, Andrew Kim, Lily Mancini, Dr. Matthew Bertin, Dr. Bethany Jenkins, Dr. David Hutchins, and Dr. Fei-Xue Fu.
