Harmonised data and R code for "Coherent response of zoo- and phytoplankton assemblages to global warming since the Last Glacial Maximum"by Tonke Strack, Lukas Jonkers, Marina C. Rillo, Karl-Heinz Baumann, Helmut Hillebrand and Michal Kucera (submitted to Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2024). STRUCTURED ABSTRACTAim: We use the fossil record of different marine plankton groups to determine how their biodiversity changed during past climate warming comparable to projected future warming.Location: North Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas. Time series cover a latitudinal range of 75°N to 6°S.Time period: Past 24,000 years, i.e., from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the current warm period covering the last deglaciation.Major taxa studied: Planktonic foraminifera, dinoflagellates and coccolithophores.Methods: We analyse time series of fossil plankton communities using principal component analysis and generalised additive models to estimate the overall trend of temporal compositional change in each plankton ...
