DESCRIPTION: The present database contains observations for 22 
parameters of abiotic, phyto and zooplankton data collected in the 
Northern Adriatic Sea region (Italy). It relies on a Comma Separated 
Values file and it is composed by 108685 records. Due to its long 
temporal coverage, it is classifiable as Long Term Ecological data.  
Due to the long temporal coverage, the great part of parameters changed 
collection and analysis method in time. These variations are reported 
in the database. A long term database can be useful for multiple 
purposes. This database has been released under a research project 
focused on Open Science principles application to marine ecology.
