Ecological context of the samples from our dataset of marine protistan communities in North-Atlantic coastal Ecosystems (872 samples). (A) Spatial span of our survey. The center of the circles represents the spatial origin of the samples, the number of samples is displayed for each spatial region. (B) Temporal span of our survey (2009–2015). The barplots represent the number of samples across months and years (color code). (C) Environmental conditions sampled in our survey. Each circle represents the value of the corresponding variable in a sample. The units of nutrients, temperature and salinity are µM, PSU and °C
