Ochromonas CMMP2951 Protist Physiology Under Ocean Acidification and Warming

125.2 KB of physiological data from a factorial acclimation experiment on the mixotrophic protist Ochromonas CMMP2951. The dataset includes measurements across four conditions combining low/high temperature (21°C, 26°C) and low/high CO2 (300 ppm, 800 ppm). Researchers from the University of Amsterdam's Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics collected this data for a manuscript on climate change effects.

Use Cases

• Analyzing protist growth rates based on factorial temperature and CO2 conditions
• Studying changes in photosynthesis and grazing behavior under simulated climate change scenarios
• Modeling the interactive effects of ocean acidification and warming on mixotrophic organisms

Strengths

• Data is structured around a clear 2x2 factorial design (temperature x CO2) with four defined treatment groups
• Includes a detailed readme file explaining all dataset files
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
