The dataset includes data used to test MacArthur minimisation principle in phytoplankton communities (Ghedini et al. 2020 Ecology). It includes data on:
1. cell size, abundance and biovolume of each phytoplankton species in the communities
2. light captured by the communities
3. rates of oxygen evolution
4. phytoplankton mortality
5. nutrient uptake
6. summary of energy wastage
