18S rRNA gene raw sequence reads of protists in Qiongdong coastal waters (South China Sea)
Upwelling plays an important role in marine ecosystems and potentially reshapes microbial communities by enhanced dispersal and distinct environmental drivers. Relative to that of the bacterioplankton, however, the response of protistan communities to the upwelling is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the influence of the Qiongdong upwelling (South China Sea) on the protistan communities.
