Data on short-term temperature modulated dilution experiments and summary of dilution experiments in (sub)tropical waters

<p>Two datasets were compiled for estimating and comparted the temperature sensitivity of phytoplankton growth rate within vs across communities.</p> <p>One dataset contains the data of short-term temperature modulated dilution experiments conducted at three subtropical coastal sites for one year. In each experiment,&nbsp;the phytoplankton community growth rates were estimated at five different temperatures via the dilution approach.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another dataset contains the phytoplankton community growth rates in (sub)tropical waters estimated by the dilution approach, collected from related literature.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
