The special issue "MAREDAT – Towards a world atlas of marine plankton functional types (PFTs)" is currently under community review in the Open Access journal "Earth System Science Data" (ESSD).

The aim of ESSD is to publish short papers about valuable data compilations available in open access, with minimum interpretation/discussion of results, and following quality assessment through a peer-review process.

You can access the special issue here: http://www.earth-syst-sci-data-discuss.net/special_issue9.html

Data compilations and global gridded distributions of PFTs (NetCDF files) are available in open access at PANGAEA for community review: http://www.pangaea.de/search?All&q=maredat+

As guest editors, Walker O. Smith and I would like to invite you to take part in the community review of the special issue. Additionally, those of you who are interested to act as official "referee" on manuscripts should contact both Walker and me by email.
