dataset for "Climate-driven warming-herbicide synergies drive cryptic functional degradation of coastal oceans"
Abstract
This repository contains reproducible R code and processed datasets accompanying manuscripts "Climate-driven warming-herbicide synergies drive cryptic functional degradation of coastal oceans" investigating climate-driven changes in coastal herbicide discharge and their cascading impacts on marine phytoplankton communities through warming-herbicide interactions.
