Data for: Responses of marine phytoplankton communities to environmental changes: new insights from a niche classification scheme

A dataset that contains mean values of total chlorophyll a (iTChla), relative abundances of nine phytoplankton groups (iDino: dinoflagellates, iDiat: diatoms, iHapt_8: haptophytes_8, iHapt_6: haptophytes_6, iChlo: chlorophytes, iCryp: cryptophytes, iProc: Prochlorococcus, iSyne: Synechococcus, and iPras: prasinophytes), and three environmental factors (iTemp: temperature, Em: irradiance, and iNOx: nitrate) in the upper mixed layer of the South China Sea.

该数据集包含了南海表层混合层中总叶绿素a（iTChla）的平均值、九种浮游植物群类的相对丰度（iDino：甲藻，iDiat：硅藻，iHapt_8：八种拟甲藻，iHapt_6：六种拟甲藻，iChlo：绿藻，iCryp：隐藻，iProc：原核蓝细菌，iSyne：蓝细菌，iPras：绿藻门类），以及三个环境因素（iTemp：温度，Em：光照强度，iNOx：硝酸盐）的测量数据。
