The minicosm experimental design measured the microbial community growth in six unreplicated fCO2 treatments. Therefore, sub-samples from each minicosm were within-treatment pseudoreplicates and thus, results of statistical analysis must be interpreted conservatively. This data set was collected from two minicosm experiments conducted at Davis Station, Antarctica. 1. Variance experiment - 2013/14 summer season 2. Ocean acidification experiment - 2014/15 summer season It includes: - description of methods for all data collection and analyses. - environmental data logged throughout the experiment; nutrients, temperature, light climate. - flow cytometry counts; autotrophic cells, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, and prokaryotes. - FlowCam counts; individual phytoplankton species data. - microscopy counts; individual phytoplankton species data. The purpose of this data set is to compare the results of three commonly used techniques for microbial community composition and abundance counts.
