Short summary
Our study provides a comprehensive assessment of microzooplankton ciliate trait structure, focusing on size spectrum, biodiversity and biotic–abiotic interplay based on 175 stations (1117 samples) across five temperature zones, which offered an ideal paradigm to study the plankton response to future climate change.
