Description
Adele Westgård and colleagues published observational data from culturing experiments of the polar planktic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina pachyderma in the Journal of Plankton Research in 2023. The dataset likely contains measurements of biological response, including growth, size, and mortality of specimens and their asexually reproduced offspring. Specimens were collected from the Greenland Sea and cultured in independently variable temperature, salinity, and pH conditions at the ARCLIM lab at UiT, Tromsø.
Use Cases
Modeling foraminifera growth rates based on the described temperature, salinity, and pH conditions.
Analyzing mortality patterns in response to the described variable environmental stressors.
Studying asexual reproduction and offspring growth patterns under controlled laboratory conditions.
Investigating species tolerance ranges for polar foraminifera based on the experimental setup.
Strengths
Data corresponds to a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Plankton Research (Volume 45, Issue 5, 2023).
Experimental conditions are specifically defined: temperature 2-7°C, salinity 29.8-36.7, pH 7.8-8.4.
Specimen collection location is precisely documented (Greenland Sea, 74.5N, 01.6E).
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
