Dataset compiling oceanic volumetric (mmol O2 or C m-3 d-1) metabolism rates from the dark-light method (GPP-DO), the 14C method (14C-TOC for total organic carbon and 14C-POC for particulate organic production), the 18O method (GPP-18O), the FRRF method (GPP-O2-FRRF) and the 13C method (13C-POC) from published works

The data set includes published data for volumetric estimates of primary production of natural marine plankton communities produced using at least two different methods applied concurrently. Here, we present and compare the following methods: the oxygen evolution in dark and light incubations (Carpenter 1965; Carrit and Carpenter 1966), the FRRF method (Kolber and Falkowski 1993) and methods based in tracer additions (18O (Bender et al. 1987), 14C (Steeman Nielsen 1952) and 13C (Slawyk et al. 1977)).
