Impact of climate warming on phenological asynchrony of plankton dynamics across Europe

Abstract

This dataset includes all data as well as the scripts used to produce figures from both the main text and the supporting information from Gronchi et al. (2023) "Impact of climate warming on phenological asynchrony of plankton dynamics across Europe".

Detailed description:

Data_TDM_Validation.csv: file containing observed versus simulated timings of TDM for 18 lakes of western Europe.

result_full_reference.mat and result_full_const_4C_warming.mat contain the 31-years medians of the lake phenologies for the 16 different simulated lake types and for both the reference and the constant +4°C climate scenario.

The two scripts Plot_Fig_1_and_3.m and Plot_Supplement.m are responsible for the production, after treatment of the data, of figures 1 and 3 from the main text and most of the supplement respectively. These scripts include a detailed description of the variables used for producing these figures.

Figures 2, 4, S1, S2 and S3 were done with R. For each of these figures there is their respective R script and the reorganized dataset used to produce them.

Because of the large size of the inputs and outputs files analyzed in this study we only included the scripts (Output_Generation_Example.m and lakelayerdepth_1.m) and the data ( Meteo_Era_52.5_13.5.dat; Z30_ST00_KW06_52.5_13.5.LST Z30_ST00_KW06_52.5_13.5.Temp) necessary for generation of the phenology medians for one specific lake type at the reference scenario as example. The full dataset (~4To) can be given upon request.
