Abstract
This live data set reports gross primary production (GPP), community respiration (CR) and net community production (NCP) of oceanic plankton communities. The methods used to measure GPP, CR, and NCP varied; these include oxygen evolution in dark-light bottles (Carpenter 1965; Carrit and Carpenter 1966),tracer additions (14C additions, SteemanNielsen 1952, and 18O-labeled H2O, Bender etal. 1987), incubation-free methods, including analyses of triple oxygen isotopes (Luz etal. 2000), O2:Ar ratios (Emerson 1987; Spitzer and Jenkins 1989; Emerson et al. 1993),non-intrusivebio-optical (OPT) methods (Claustre et al. 2008), fast repetition rate fluorometry (FRRF, Kolber and Falkowski 1993), and oxygen sensors mounted on gliders (Tengberg et al. 2006; Nicholson et al. 2008) and buoys (Boutin and Merlivat2009). Characteristics of each method are discussed by Robinson and Williams (2005)and Duarte et al.(2013). The article Global patterns in oceanic planktonic metabolism by Regaudie de Gioux, A. and Duarte, C.M. is currently in press to be published in Limnology and Oceanography in 2013.
