Beneath the surface: Spatial and temporal trends in water quality and its impacts on algal community composition in the Albemarle Sound, North Carolina

These files contain data from our research on the interaction between land use, water quality, and algal community composition in the Albemarle Sound, NC. Datasets include data on average water quality across all study sites, water quality data collected over two months for a subset of sites, precipitation in one of the study counties, total algal cell counts, standardized cell counts, standardized algal cell biovolume, and relative biovolume. The two R files contain the code used to analyze these data.

本数据集文件包含我们针对北卡罗来纳州阿尔伯马尔湾（Albemarle Sound）内土地利用、水质与藻类群落组成之间相互作用开展的研究数据，涵盖所有研究样地的平均水质数据、部分样地为期两个月的连续水质监测数据、其中一个研究县域的降水量数据、藻类总细胞计数、标准化细胞计数、标准化藻类细胞生物体积以及相对生物体积。附带的两个R语言脚本文件包含用于分析上述数据的代码。
