List of the measured environmental variables, phytoplankton abundance and composition, oxylipin-per litre (Oxylipins/L) concentration and oxylipin-per-diatom-cell (Oxylipins/diatom-cell) production measured at LTER-MC on the 23rd and the 30th of May 2017. Measure units are shown. Major phytoplankton groups and main diatom genera are reported. Oxylipin species: HDoHE = hydorxy-docosahexaenoic acid, EHDPE = epoxy-hydroxy-docosapentaenoic acid, HEPE = hydroxy-eicosapentaenoic acid, EHETE = epoxy-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid, HHTrE = hydroxy-hexadecatrienoic acid, EHHDE = epoxy-hydroxy-hexadecadienoic acid
