Regional and vertical patterns in microbial communities across Fram Strait (2015-2019)

This study portrays bacterial and archaeal community composition over five summers in the Arctic Fram Strait (80°N). The dataset includes 16S rRNA gene amplicons derived from annual samplings along a longitudinal transect (6°W–12°E) from the surface to the lower photic zone, covering Arctic- / Atlantic-influenced waters in western / eastern Fram Strait.
