  1. The table shows the combination of the best environmental variables that predict the patterns of picophytoplankton abundances along the salinity gradient. n: number of abiotic variables used in the analysis: ρ Spearman rank correlation coefficient; P: significance levels; k: number of corresponding significant environmental variables. Significant contributing environmental variables were ordered according to the degree of match. "S": salinity; "VLP3": abundances of viral population VLP3 potentially infecting phytoplankton; []: ammonium concentrations.
