Abstract
Biological, hydrological and chemical data were acquired at monthly intervals from March 2006 to February 2007, at the Long-Term Ecological Research site C1 in the Gulf of Trieste, in the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea. The biological dataset comprises total chl a and phaeopigment concentrations, and the distinction of the total phytoplankton biomass into three photoautotrophic community fractions, i.e. cyanobacteria, nano- and microphytoplankton, collected at discrete depths. Hydrological data encompass the thermohaline properties of the water column (temperature and salinity profiles from CTD casts). Chemical data consist of silicate and phosphate concentrations obtained from discrete seawater samples collected with Niskin bottles at four depths (0.5–5–10–15 m). Data presented here are related to the paper “Structural and functional response of phytoplankton to reduced river inputs and anomalous physical-chemical conditions in the Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea) by Cibic et al. (2018) [1].

Summary
Sampling was performed monthly at the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) station C1 (45°420200N and 13°4203600E, maximum depth 17.5 m) located in the Gulf of Trieste, in the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea. Discrete seawater samples were collected monthly with 5-L Niskin bottles at four depths (0.5, 5, 10, 15 m) for inorganic nutrient, pigment and phytoplankton analyses
