Exploring Long-Term Shifts in Phytoplankton by Conversion of Microscopic Images

July 28, 2023
,

Summary

Here, we present a protocol for converting phytoplankton microscopic images into vector graphics and repetitive patterns to enable visualization of shifts in phytoplankton taxa and biomass over 60 years. This protocol represents an approach that can be utilized for other plankton time series and datasets globally.
