Literature on the Impact of dust and associated metal content on phytoplankton

This document consists of two datasets: (1) Table 1 Dust loads and (2) Table 2 Metal Content. The first table provides an overview of previously published work on the impact of dust loads on marine phytoplankton from various regions, while the second table describes the effect of metal content, as determined from dust, on phytoplankton. The location of the phytoplankton collected and the dust utilised during the experiments is described, as well as the effect on phytoplankton groups/ species. The references for each table are noted in a separate sheet.
