Integrated annual calcium carbonate production of planktic calcifiers in the North Pacific from the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1712

This dataset compiles the estimates of annual CaCO3 production, including the upper and lower limits of the estimates, for the 4 planktic calcifying groups considered in the study, the pteropods (mg/m²/yr), the heteropods (mg/m²/yr), the foraminifers (mg/m²/yr) and the coccolithophores (mg/m²/yr). The estimates derived from the living standing stocks of these 4 groups of organisms collected in the North Pacific between Hawaii and the Gulf of Alaska during the R/V Kilo Moana cruise KM1712 in August 2017. R code was used to calculate the integrated annual CaCO3 production for the different organisms, including the upper and lower limits (Gray, 2022).

该数据集汇编了本研究涉及的4个浮游钙化类群的年度碳酸钙（CaCO₃）产量估算值，包含估算的上下限；所述类群为翼足类（pteropods，mg/m²/yr）、异足类（heteropods，mg/m²/yr）、有孔虫类（foraminifers，mg/m²/yr）及颗石藻（coccolithophores，mg/m²/yr）。这些估算值基于2017年8月"基洛莫阿纳号"（R/V Kilo Moana）科考船KM1712航次期间，在夏威夷与阿拉斯加湾之间的北太平洋区域采集的上述4类生物的活体现存量。研究采用R语言代码计算了各生物类群的综合年度CaCO₃产量（含上下限），相关方法详见Gray（2022）。
