This dataset contains chemical data collected at shoreside Massachusetts during deployment Plum_Island from 2014-09-01 to 2014-11-30. These data include Nitrogen, d13C, d15N, and total organic Carbon. The instruments used to collect these data include Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer and Push Corer. These data were collected by Amanda Spivak of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Eutrophication Effects on Sediment Metabolism and Benthic Algal-bacterial Coupling: An Application of Novel Techniques in a LTER Estuary (benthic_PP_at_TIDE)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
The three ponds are located in the high marsh (1.43-1.46 m above North American Vertical Datum of 1988) of the Plum Island Ecosystems – Long Term Ecological Research (PIE-LTER) site. Surface sediments were collected weekly for TOC, TN, δ 13 C, and δ 15 N (June 25-August 13 and November 11-25, 2014). Cores (5 cm diameter x 2 cm deep) were collected from three 1 m 2 quadrats placed at random locations along two crisscrossing transects in each pond. Sediments were combined in combusted glass vials to form composite samples and stored (-80 ℃) until analysis. sediment samples were prepared for elemental and isotopic analyses by drying to constant mass (60 °C), homogenizing with a Retsch Mixer Mill 200 (plants and sediments), and fuming with hydrochloric (HCl) acid to remove carbonates (Hedges and Stern 1984). Analyses were performed by the Stable Isotope Laboratory at the Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, MA). Isotopic data are reported in the conventional δ-notation in units of per mil (‰).
Purpose This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
