FieldDescriptionValidated Entry
[Table title]Name of monitoring programmePlankton diversity index (PH3)
[ProgrammeDescription]Description of the monitoring programmeMonitoring of phytoplankton diversity (at a taxonomic level) is carried out mainly by sampling in coastal surface waters of fixed stations sampled at a wekkly to monthly frequency. Taxonomical data from CPR, representing mainly the bigger fraction of phytoplankton but also mostly zooplankton data.
