Table 1_A climate change profiteer? Temperature and light effects on primary production in

A 37.6 KB dataset containing results from a controlled laboratory experiment investigating the effects of temperature and light on primary production in the non-native alga Vaucheria sp. in the European Wadden Sea. The data, authored by Ronny Steinberg and last updated in May 2026, includes measurements of oxygen concentration as a proxy for primary production across temperature gradients from 16°C to 36°C and light intensities from 100 to 900 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹.

Use Cases

• Modeling primary production rates based on temperature and light conditions described in the experiment
• Analyzing thermal tolerance thresholds for non-native algae based on photosynthetic parameter stability up to 32°C
• Assessing photo-acclimation capacity of invasive species based on production responses to high and low light intensities

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled laboratory conditions, allowing for isolation of temperature and light effects
• Specific experimental parameters are provided, including temperature range (16-36°C) and light intensities (100, 500, 900 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹)
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (37.6 KB), indicating limited scope
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
