Progress Code: completed Statement: 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. Purpose The purpose of this data set is to compare the results of three commonly used techniques for microbial community composition and abundance counts. 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.
