Raw benthic chlorophyll and phaeophytin data from cores collected in Massachusetts from 2012-2015 (NCEI Accession 0277901)

browse graphicGraphic not available.
This dataset contains biological data collected at shoreside Massachusetts during deployment Spivak_2012 at Rowley and Woods Hole, MA from 2012-01-01 to 2015-12-31. These data include chlorophyll a and total phaeopigment. The instruments used to collect these data include 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 2019-04-05.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Sediment samples for organic matter composition were collected by placing a hard plastic sleeve around a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) corer (5 cm diameter x 15 cm deep) and then removing the corer. The plastic sleeve remained in place to maintain the integrity of the sediment column and mark the core location (Spivak 2015). The top 0.5 cm of each core was collected into pre-combusted vials and frozen (-80 deg C) until analysis for total organic carbon and nitrogen content and stable isotopes (d13C, d15N) and lipid biomarker composition. Adjacent samples for benthic chlorophyll were collected with smaller cores (1.5 cm diameter x 1 cm deep) into glass vials and frozen (-20 deg C) until analysis. Additional sediment cores for organic matter composition and benthic chlorophyll were collected 4, 8, 24, and 48 h after the 13C-labeled NaHCO3 was applied in June, August, and October and 4, 8, 24, and 144h after the 13C-labeled S. alterniflora was applied in August. Benthic chlorophyll was determined per methods described by Neubauer et al. (2000).
