C:N:P in dinoflagellates

Data on C:N:P of lab-cultured marine dinoflagellates were identified by searching in the ISI Web of Science using keywords such as elemental composition, elemental stoichiometry, elemental ratios, C:N, C:P or C:N combined with the word dinoflagellate. These studies and suitable studies cited within these sources were evaluated for data collection. Experimental conditions were recorded along with the elemental composition data including culturing methods, the media used, culture temperature and salinity. Cell volume and growth rate data were collected when available. Species were then assigned the following traits: 1. thecate or athecate; 2. non-toxic or the potential to produce C-rich or N-rich toxins; and 3. small, medium or large cell volume.本数据集收录的实验室培养海洋甲藻碳氮磷（C:N:P）化学计量数据，通过在ISI Web of Science（科学引文索引）中以“元素组成”“元素化学计量学”“元素比值”“C:N”“C:P”或“C:N”与“甲藻”组合作为检索关键词筛选得到。对上述检索到的文献及其中引用的符合要求的文献进行评估，以开展数据采集工作。实验条件与元素组成数据同步记录，具体包括培养方法、所用培养基、培养温度及盐度。若可获取相关数据，则同步收集细胞体积与生长速率信息。随后为对应物种标注以下分类特征：1. 具壳（thecate）或无壳（athecate）；2. 无毒或具备产生富碳、富氮毒素的潜能；3. 细胞体积划分为小型、中型与大型。
