Abstract

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectra and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images from phytoplankton Si utilization experiments during 8-day laboratory cultures in 2016 and 2017. Coccolithophore Si utilization was assessed via Si drawdown from growth media.

Raw SEM images and EDS spectra files are accessible from the "Data Files" section on this page. EDS sample metadata and atomic percentages and atomic weight percentages are available as a tabular dataset from this dataset landing page which is available in a variety of formats (see file access at the top of this page).
